Smart Diary Suite
  • Free Trial ($39.95)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  If you are just starting, try this  qright

Smart Diary Suite version 4.4.0
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

This software has great potential, and if you are just starting to use an electronic journal, you should definitely give this one a try. The only real down side for me is the inability to import my data from other systems.

Xtreme Journal System
  • Free Trial ($29.95)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Does not live up to its promise  qright

Xtreme Journal System version 2.1.3
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

I have tested this software for 45 minutes and had 5 major crashes. I cannot add people to the people section, and the free trial only allows 4 entries, simply not enough to allow a real evaluation of the potential. I have used far more stable beta versions of software. I just don't think this is ready for release

Qm - The Quick Mailer

Qm - The Quick Mailer version 2.2
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 3

I use outlook and Gmail, but sometimes I just want to send a quick note, and not having to wait for a web browser or outlook to load is wonderful.

Screenshot Captor
  • Free Trial ($30.00)
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  The best free screenshot tool ever  qright

Screenshot Captor version 2.09.08
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I must do screen captures a LOT, and I find this the best tool for that purpose I have ever used. Hot keys for every type of capture, each image can be edited easily, and converted to other formats. What's not to like?

StartRight
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  A very nice revision  qright

StartRight version 1.2.9
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

I have used this program before, but found it a little buggy. This revision appears to have cleared up the bugs that were bothering me, and I am back to using it again. I love the ability to control the order of launching, and the timing of each program. There are better startup managers out there, but none of them are FREE.

ObjectDock
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Not a good match for win2k  qright

ObjectDock version 1.2
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 2
  • Overall: 2

I have tried this program in an earlier version, and then tried it again both on my win2k laptop and my XP desktop. I couldn't even access the preferences in 2k, it kept crashing. On the machine at home it worked more or less, but is a real resource hog. There are better programs to accomplish the same thing.

ClocX
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  My favorite analog clock.  qright

ClocX version 1.4
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I have been using this product for years. This is simply the most attractive and versatile desktop analog clock available. It has a very light footprint, enough different skins to match any theme, and even supports multiple alarms. What more could you possibly want from a clock?

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

qleft  A great mail client  qright

Thunderbird version 1.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

While perhaps not appropriate for really heavy email users, this program has anything the home email user could possibly want. Far more powerful filter and organization tools than outlook express, and far better security. Easily skinned and customized to match your particular working style.

FreeCommander
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  The best file manager  qright

FreeCommander version 2004.10
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I have been using this program since the last version, and this new version is an improvement on an already great piece of software. I don't understand what others say about drag and drop, I have just upgraded and had no trouble dragging and copying or moving, The interface is wonderful and intuitive. The only trouble is that it is not good with network drives, otherwise, you should ignore explorer and use this instead. It also has great bookmarking features and favorites.

RoboForm
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Vital for any real surfer  qright

RoboForm version 6.0.3
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I love this program, and registered for the pro version within 1 month. I formerly used the evil gator product. Roboform seamlessly transferred my information and allowed me to fully kill the GAIN network. I eliminated pop ups almost completely at the time and this product does things the other program never dreamed of with absolutely no adware or spyware. The free version is great, but the pro is well worth the cost of registering.
