To call this program "helpful" is like describing the speed of light as "pretty fast". It allows you to make conversions for volume, mass, time, temp, distance, force, flow, area, torque, light acceleation, speed and a lot more. If you've ever had to make any kind of mathematical conversion and drew a blank, then you'll love this program. Plus it's simple to use. Thanks to Joshua for one of the best and most useful programs - hands down - I've ever used or seen.

SnipeRight Professional

The theory behind SnipeRight Pro is great but software needs a lot more than theory to be good. Have used SRPro on 2 diff. systems in 5 years. On WinMe, had install probs, but it finally worked. Liked it well enough to buy for WinXP system. IF it works now, it does so only w/ IE6. No big deal, but worth noting. Places bids at 20 seconds before end of auction, regardless of amount of time I specify. Tech support exists in name only; "Help" is just a few FAQ. My 5-6 emails requesting help netted 4 useless replies. 2 actually blamed me for any non-response because their spam filters blocked my 2 diff. email addresses. The other 2 said a technical expert would contact me w/ avg turnaround time 29 hours. That was 29 DAYS ago. Maybe that tech expert's too busy tweaking those overzealous spam filters to help. LOL. Bottom line: Unreliable software and no technical support from company. Would never use if winning a specific auction was very important.

Opera
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Had to look for the ads!  qright

Opera version 7.54U1
  • Interface: 4

  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Opera has the least intrusive ads you can imagine; they just blend in, inside their own little t'bar. NO picture ads, NO onscreen targets jumping all over the place. The interface is skinnable, and as far as speed, Opera leaves IE6 in the dust. I feel like my internet connection ate vitamins and got a turbo shot. I had so many problems w/ IE6, Opera is like breathing in clean, fresh air on a muggy, humid day. Just wish I'd taken a look sooner.

Tracker V3 beats Windows Explorer hands down for information and content, plus it's even easier to understand. I use it instead of Explorer now with zero problems in the 2-3 months since installing. Because you get so much information, finding and deleting unnecessary files is a much smoother, faster process. Like Explorer, Tracker shows folders in the left pane and files in the right pane. But with TrackerV3, each file gets numbered sequentially, in the same way, for example, you'd number items on a grocery list. You know right away how many files are in a folder & if files have been added or deleted. That makes keeping everything, including me, a lot more organized. Thanks to the developer for a fantastic program!!!
