The reason I don't use Macfee is becuse it takes up to many system resources. It slows down my computer way to much like Norton. F-prot or Avast seem to require less resources to run..


But you must stop that John.. A HAMMER !!

I still can't stop laughing at that one.
thanks for cheering me up

I have been using objectdock and like it, but looks like rocketdock does about the same thing. Any preferences?

Well, it's free for me, I have lots of hammers around the house. For larger computers, I have the 8# model, for the smaller ones, the standard 20oz carpenter's hammer does nicely.

Expose Cloning just got better!

mac os-x style task switcher for windows


I haven't tried it but it's for the Mac request.

I need a app that will restore deleted files from my digital camera with the media in the camera. I don't have a media reader. The camera shows up under my computer when plugged in but none of the undelete programs I've tried will see the camera in their options?

Thanks
David
