I've read through most of this thread with great interest, but I confess that I'm now bleary-eyed and still a bit confused. Currently, my search program of choice is Copernic Desktop Search, version 3.0,0. It finds just about everything I want except my email messages (because I use Mulberry as my email client); for email I happily use Mailbag Assistant. What I'm trying to understand is what programs like Archivarius, Locate32, and others do that I don't already get from Copernic. I feel a little foolish asking this after so much discussion has already taken place, but I honestly haven't been able to figure this out. Copernic finds my files VERY quickly, it does full-text searches, the price is right.... I'd be more than willing to add another program, even one for which I'd have to pay, if it offered me something important that Copernic doesn't already do. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.-cyberdiva (December 21, 2008, 12:25 PM)
BRU is infamous for its GUI, which is considered cluttered...-Darwin (December 19, 2008, 07:56 AM)
On the contrary, Darwin, I love the fact that every option is in front of me, instead having to tab through endless menus, tabs, and dropdown lists. Same goes for Flexible Renamer, which recently got a version upgrade. I just set how I want for repetitive job, save it as a profile, then BAM! I'm done.-zridling (December 19, 2008, 05:08 PM)
I guess winning is the key...

Then I guess you'd rather choose a country which was on the losing side on both World Wars during the twentieth century, like Germany for instance
But this is getting ridiculous, not to mention increasingly off-topic (mind you, Deozaan introduced the geopolitical subject in this thread).-city_zen (December 19, 2008, 08:22 AM)

France? I don't get it
Switzerland is known for its neutrality, but France has been involved in many wars in the 20th century alone, and many more along its history-city_zen (December 18, 2008, 05:45 PM)
But I've owned them since they were initially released and somehow MUST upgrade them![J-Mac]: I can see why someone may decide to stop developing! But even if they don’t continue, if I use the program for a decent length of time I feel I should donate if I can.
I may be wrong, but I think Bulk Rename Utility went from freeware (with a donation option) to adware. To me, that's the worst move you can make. Seeing a rotating ad such as the one in FoxIt is like a needle in my eye.-zridling (December 18, 2008, 06:28 AM)
There is a $10 discount which makes this only $69 for new customers.-nevf (November 14, 2008, 05:15 PM)
I just downloaded the Linkman Free tonite from the Outertech website but it didn't live up to the reviews IMHO. Once I told it to not install anything else, it offers quite a few and then tells you can remove them from add/remove which you cannot.
Upon restarting Firefox, it then opened a new window in IE 6 to a freeze.com news site which I did not want nor agree to. So I immediately uninstalled it since it acted like malware to me.
It also had offered to to install SearchSquire and New.net. I should have know better when it wanted to install from freeze.com but the name didn't jog my memory at first.
I was also suspicious when I downloaded a 4.5 meg file that I thought was Linkman Free and then during the install it downloaded something else. who knows what.
Anyway the Revo Uninstaller did a good job in uninstalling it. I will run my a/v program tonite just to make sure everything is gone.
My experience says "Stay away"!-techidave (December 17, 2008, 09:36 PM)

That is why it is a good idea to have your data files on a drive other than the system partition.-edbro (December 11, 2008, 08:21 PM)
I did just start building a library in Library Thing, an online collection vehicle. Interesting so far.-J-Mac (December 11, 2008, 01:36 PM)You're putting the catalog up online?
Great googelly-moogelly Jim!!!

Do you have any idea what StarFleet Command will do once they find out

I also have a $9.95 Spamex account. That allows my to create up to 500 disposable email addresses per year. I can give out a Spamex address and any replies/spam etc. to that address goes directly to Spamex, who then passes it along to me. The sender has no way of finding out my true email address, and I can also send messages to them again using that same address. It is worth more than the actual cost IMO!-J-Mac (December 11, 2008, 01:05 AM)
Jim, I didn't know about Spamex, but I have been using Spamgourmet for a few years now (and I'm very happy with it). While going over the features of Spamex, I realized they don't seem to be much different than those of Spamgourmet (which is free). I wonder if you have tried SG and, if you have, how does Spamex compare with it.

I've been playing around with Librarian Pro, which is $29.95 and for which you receive a licence that allows you to install and activate under both Windows and OSX. You can also install it on as many machines as you like, as long as you're the main user of each machine. It will allow you to search Amazon for books, music, and dvd's and to specify the local amazon site you want to use (ie Canada, USA, UK, Germany, etc.). It will catalogue all media, including software, not just Books. Overall, it's pretty slick. I wish it would connect to more databases - at the moment it is almost as limited as are the latest generation of Collectorz apps. HOwever, it's only at version 1.4 and the developer may be receptive to adding more sources.-Darwin (December 11, 2008, 12:02 PM)
