Amara Flash Intro and Banner Builder
  • Free Trial ($39.95)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Not bad, the the interface is inadequate  qright

  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 2

I just bought this tool, played around for a few hours and realized how close it is to being good but find it almost unmanageable for any multi-text sequence. Far too many clicks to see information, could be better displayed in a grid so all 'texts' could be seen at the same time, the ability to resize the UI would help, fire up the swf at any frame, some way to get a handle on timing of frames, the ability to center or align text, built-in background effects.. the works.. Its' only feature that is good is that you can enter any number of lines of text, which was the main reason i bought it. The entire UI needs to be replaced. As a developer myself, if i had access to an api to do the graphics, i would love to rebuild this tool.

I am an experienced software developer and in the midst of all my tweaks etc, i blew away my wireless on my laptop.. nothing worked, spent hours on it, then i tried my wired connection, and realized my winsock was somehow hooped.. a few seconds after installing this little gem.. everything was a-ok! thanks folks..

This tool does exactly what i needed. I did not want to have to fiddle with placement of rectangles in order to chop/splice my image, i just wanted to get it done, and this great little tool did it perfectly for me.

Foxit PDF Reader
  • Ad Supported (Free)
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Excellent program, but a catch..  qright

Foxit PDF Reader version 1.3
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

Performs most excellently, in all areas except for large pdf files. My wife routinely prints 65+ page pdf docs and this program will not ever print them properly. Too bad because in most every other way tested, it performs very well!

Whisper FTP Surfer
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Almost perfect, but..  qright

Whisper FTP Surfer version 1.07
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

I used this nice program for a while, but then i noticed that while uploading files to a remote virtual server, the upload does not seem to know the end of the file has been hit, goes past the byte limit, waits and waits, then starts over. If i watch closely, i can flip to the remote desktop and make a quick copy before the attempt is aborted and the remote file deleted. This makes this program useless for my needs, but it is soooo close to being excellent. cheers.

ClocX
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Fantastic clock!  qright

ClocX version 1.4
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

While it might seem that a simple clock is already on your computer (if you use Windows), if you are like me, on your system alot, this little clock is simply great. Beautifully rendered, enough features to keep even geeks happy (love the click-through). Try it, you will never look back.
