AFAIK, they limit you to using it on only one computer - can't install it on a desktop and mobile computer. And I do know that if you move to a different computer, or reinstall your OS, you must get a new registration code.-J-Mac (November 26, 2008, 03:17 PM)
I don't see why the standard recovery CD shouldn't work as a fall back boot up for backup. I have never used the CD beyond a quick and dirty backup of a failing partition - does it support incremental and differential backups in the same way as the installed version?-Carol Haynes (November 26, 2008, 05:40 AM)
Hello Darwin,
no, Nitro PDF does not do any OCR at all. It just embeds bitmaps and the created PDFs are consequently not fully searchable. I guess you have tried omnipage OCR?

Computers are supposed to have enabled us and made life simpler and more convenient and yet I spend an obscene amout of time worrying about security and tweaking my system 
) and noticed that one of the two exes that run when you invoke it is PosGlblInfo2.exe, which receives ratings from online databases that range from benign and trusted to a trojan. I only noticed when looking at Task Manager - I've scanned the file, the folder and my computer and Sophos (via Webroot Antivirus) reports that all is well.
But would you not think, that they really should think about re-naming "POS" to a less ambiguous term?-Lutz_ (November 24, 2008, 12:02 PM)
Bring on a promo (of course, it'll need to be a two user licence at about 75% off the server price )!If it's underrated you should replace it with one with a better rating-city_zen (November 24, 2008, 10:26 AM)
Thank you for sharing this - it'll be a big help as a reference when others (such as yours truly) set out upon this journey... With very little editing, you could post this as a mini-review. Better yet (from a DC reader's perspective, not necessarily from yours), you could edit this more extensively and extend it to make it a fully-fledged DC review.Matters for laptops, but for workstations?-f0dder (November 23, 2008, 12:28 PM)

f0dder, most of them also don't break their air conditioner for fun. They also do not hit on persons of the opposite sex which prefer members of the same sex (aka lesbians). Would you still call mouser normal?-Josh (November 22, 2008, 02:00 PM)
What have I been missing on the IRC channel?!actually, it's the reverse... it should be implemented with a filter driver.-Armando (November 22, 2008, 11:34 AM)
THAT"S the one I worked my way through. Anyway, not sure what to suggest about the keyboard issue - I suspect that the solution would be to go with a wired keyboard OR, as I do, simply set your computer to go to sleep rather than shutting it down. If you want it to reboot, select restart from the power options first thing in the morning... Alternatively, you could look into whether or not there is some Vista setting or third party utility (I'd check my keyboards driver as a first resort) to see if the wireless connection can be set up to be maintained when the computer is off. I'm not sure what that would do to your battery life, though (although I essentially do this by setting the computer to sleep rather than turning it off, and I get months out of two AAA batteries).For those considering mirrorFolder but owning a license of SFFS (Darwin?). I noticed that SFFS can now do simultaneous writing to two folders with a synch profile that runs in real time (!).-urlwolf (November 22, 2008, 08:50 AM)
Hopefully, it's NOT implemented with a filter driver!Darwin, why not simply install 64bit Vista instead of mucking around with the server stuff?-f0dder (November 22, 2008, 09:10 AM)
Actually, that's what I'd like to do! However, I messed up when I bought my notebook and bought one with a 32-bit OEM install. I'd have to pay full price for Vista 64-bit whereas as a student I was given a free licence for Windows Server 2008. As I had a spare SATA drive gathering dust, I thought I'd give it a whirl!
