WinDirStat is an Excellent Application

My hard drives and external drives fill up quickly with all my video files. This program displays the folders and files graphically, so I know exactly what is hogging all my space, which makes it easier to clean up free space on a hard drive. I have been using this program for years and am amazed such a great program is free.

Dropbox is the Greatest!

I love this FREE program! I have it installed on my computer at work, home and on my iPhone. I am able to load pictures, then open them on my iPhone. I put music for my work hard drive. I scan documents at work and they are on my home computer when I get home. This is the coolest program. I have been using it for months with no problems and highly recommend it.

Startup Delayer Program Free

I sure hope this program works. This sounds like one of the best programs invented. Sure I like Skype and all the other programs that want to load up when I reboot, but as far as I am concerned it can load later, so I can get started surfing the net. Let me know if you have tried this program and what problems you see with it.

Microsoft My Phone????

Has anyone Microsofted their phone? Does this program take much space and what are the atvantages? I am dissappointed with these webpages that are created for the masses - they are so "dumbed-down". The need to create pages that provide a list programs to download with reviews - period. When you search these pages there is not much too them just fluff...

Great Media Player for your Mobile Phone

I have struggled with Microsoft Media Player for years. The program has many problems. I purchased an 8 gb card for my phone and loaded hundreds of song, but their media player could only play about 30 of them over and over. Today I downloaded the WinVibe 2005 and it works great playing everyone of my songs. Don't let the Korean text bother you, because Google will translate it into English. So far I recommend the WinVibe media player!

The One and LocateTV.com

Alright! I am finally getting the hang of this LocateTV website and I like it. I hate spending an hour going through the guide on TV finding shows to record, because I hate watching stupid commercials.

This movie The One is a little over the top, but with Jet Li and Jason Statham it is still good. With LocateTV I was able to look at the preview, then find it on the TV guide and record the show. Thanks LocateTV!!!

Beautiful Woman In Award Winning Photo

I am impressed with this winning Russian photo. The woman is wearing a white dress, but was is unique is the shot from above with her shooshing somone. The slate stones she is standing on are a great background. The clarity of this picture, with a blurred foreground make a great shot. I am impressed! You can use Google translate to convert the text from Russion to English with ease.

Globetrotter XL Game

This is a pretty cool web page. Here you a map of the world, a name of a city and a few seconds to pinpoint where it is located. You get points based on how close you are to the place. Good luck testing your knowledge!

Red Planet Photo or Art?

This is a really cool picture of a large moon with a red tint. I wonder if someone painted this or photoshopped it? Whatever - I saved it to my favorites on Stumbleupon.com. What do you think?

JBidwatcher Anyone?

LocateTV

I'm not impressed! There is very limited choice of favorite shows, movies and actors to add to your favorites. When I went to more actors they did not add to my favorites. The listing for Cox cable channels in my area is not complete. This site needs a lot of work to be more friendly user. Great idea, so I wish it would work.

I am going to sign up for this site that should assist with my TV and Internet show watching. I will let you know how it works for me.

Microsoft Expression Web 2

I received a copy of this web creating software from Microsoft for helping with a survey and providing feedback. Nice gift, since it sells for $105 on Amazon.com used. I installed it, but it looks kind of hard to use, plus I would have to pay for space on a server to upload a website. I am thinking about selling it?

What does Hoosier mean?

I am a Hoosier and always wondered what it meant. No one really knows but Fun Trivia says, "When a visitor hailed a pioneer cabin in Indiana or knocked upon its door, the settler would respond, "Who's here?"

Ok? Now I know what to yell when someone rings my doorbell!

Gene Reunited

I join all the genealogy websites, but I don't like this one, because it is not laid out in a way that is easy to navigate. I did not renew my membership. My favorite is Geni.com. It is worth it to be a Pro member, because then you can merge trees and get all kinds of data from other members on your ancestors.
