Keeping a home inventory is critically important. It makes a big difference when you have to fight with your insurance company, and just helps you know what all your "stuff" is. (Could you make a list of what's in your house if it burned down tomorrow?) Enter Home Inventory. Quicken used to include a home inventory as part of Quicken for Mac (and PC for that matter); they dropped it completely for the Mac, and issued it as a stand-along product for the PC (at $30). Binary Formations' Home Inventory is a great replacement -- faster, more flexible, universal binary, and actively developed. It's this last part that's really important. I had over one hundred items trapped in Quicken's Home Inventory. It's no longer supported. No way to export, and the program crashes under 10.4 and 10.5. You don't want to invest hours of data entry, only to be stuck with an unsupported program. Binary Formations is REALLY responsive. Find a big? Got a question? Fast, helpful answers and fixes. There's a version 2 under development as well. Uses SQL for the underlying database, so you'll never be orphaned (plus there's an export function). I really recommend this program. Sure there's room for improvement, but new stuff is getting added all the time. There's nothing out there that even comes close. |

This is a great, unique piece of software designed to back up your Boot Camp partition. It runs from the Mac side of your computer and backs up the entire Boot Camp partition. Because of the unique nature of the way the Boot Camp partition is handled, classic Windows disk imaging programs like Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image won't work. This little gem allows you to make an image copy of your partition(think how long it took you to install windows and then the 100s of XP updates) that can be easily reinstalled if you somehow mangle your PC partition. It also allows you to resize the PC partition (in case you need to make it bigger). It compresses your data as well, so the image doesn't copy the free space. My 5GB Boot Camp Partition backup was only 2GB. I know of no other program that will perform these tasks. The program is effortless, speedy, and free. What more could you ask for? |

While it doesn't quite solve the problem of "mushy" keyboards, the audible feedback really does help one's typing. As the author suggests, set the volume at just barely audbile. Especially nice on my G4 iBook. Damned thing is rather addictive, actually -- I really notice its absence when I use my PC at the office. |

I think this is a great product. I was a long-time Disclabel user but got increasingly fed up with being asked to upgrade every 6-12 months (at $15/pop). I decided to try something different, and came across Disc Cover. MUCH better. More intuitive user interface, MANY more templates (Disclabel wants to charge you for theirs), and even a pdf manual! I don't feel like I'm being nickel and dimed, as I was with Disclabel. I've had nothing but great customer service when I've had a question, and they seem to put out regular (and so far, free) updates. (They recently added import from Toast, which was a much-desired feature) I'm very pleased with Disc Cover, and only sad I wasted so much money on Disclabel. |
