Active Desktop Calendar

Version: 5.0

I liked it (for a while)

Pros: I like having all the stuff on my desktop.

Cons: After a while it became annoying and I removed. However, the idea is a good one, but I think there is just so much "attention-space" (I made that up so if in the future it becomes a famous saying remember it is from me) on your desktop, and you can't usurp all of it.

Pros: in theory it seems very good; i use the OpenOffice web page creator now for my web page and i would have liked to have extra web software

Cons: i'm probably not smart enough to use it

Product:

EasyOffice+PDF Filter

Version: 8.0

Necessary software for everyone

Pros: Unless you have thousands of dollars to spend on software you should get this software. I got cd's at $44 which are fantastic bargain. EasyAntiVirus is there including daily updates free of charge for life. There is full office suite including Outlook-like EasyMail. However EasyMail is better -- it lets me mix normal mail with my hotmail and yahoo accounts. It also lets me zap stuff to and from the word processor and my iPAQ handheld. For my friends who say 'OpenOffice is better, yadada..." I say the fullOpenOffice is already there as an option within EasyOffice. I use the OO component instead of the Easy component in EasyWebPageCreator, but for the others I stick to the Easy components. EasyCalculator is a million times improvement over the windows calculator. You can throw out your desktop calculator. EasyCalculator does a million different things. EasyProject is just as good as Microsoft Project for straightforward things like the construction industry where I'm involved. EasyGraphicsSuite programs let you do everything the over-priced Adobe programs let you do. And it goes on and on. EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE FOR FREE OR BUY THE CD. EVERYONE WILL NEED SOMETHING ON IT. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO MICROSOFT/SYMANTEC/ADOBE (even though that's what my business colleagues all seem to do). YOU SHOULD SAVE YOUR MONEY. COMPUTERS SHOULD BE CHEAP TO USE.

Cons: The industry I'm in (construction) uses certain files (eg, AutoCAD) that EasyOffice doesn't handle.

iView Media

Version: 2.6.3

good but too expensive

Pros: i needed something like this but didn't want to pay the $50

Cons: utilities shouldn't cost more than $19 -- people like me would pay for more if they kept price there

Netscape Browser 8.0

what's the point?

Pros: anti-trust and philosophical implications aside, what's the point of having this browser if it doesn't really do that much more for me than Microsoft's Internet Explorer? Take a deep breath and think about that. I'm not a supporter of Microsoft and I don't use Microsoft Office anymore, but this is really silly, working on second class browser product. I have tried all the browsers posted on downloads and except for Opera, I don't see what is the point for the others (including FireFox -- big deal despite all the hype on CNN etc)

Cons: what's the point -- doesn't really do anything more for me than Internet Explorer does
