I would sound a note of caution on this Super Format app.

Without knowing exactly what space has been lost in order to achieve the gain from 1.44 to 1.72, you could have problems.

I expect they have reduced the size of tables that allow you to rename files or delete and then create files without having to reorganize the disk. If so, you might find problems when you delete and re-create a number of files.

Without knowing exactly what they have done, I'd suggest you invest in a handy drive instead. A tiny 1gig handy drive is about the size of a floppy but can store about 700 floppies worth of info.

Pricelessware software is a great site.

Note:
Looking for software there in Graphics your see this here.
http://pricelessware.org/thelist/gra.htm

But there is more so look Archives: for the pass years and your see more listed.
Now you go Alphabetical Index link http://pricelessware.org/thelist/alp.htm and your see all the other software.

I agree that Pricelessware is a great site - one of the best for freeware - because it is well screened. The people who run the site only put the best freeware up there.

But, Hewee, I don't understand your post. The first link is to the list of graphics freeware and the second seems to be an alphabetical list of all freeware on the entire site including the archives.

Is that what you intended? Is there any way to see a list of all graphics for all years?

IOW, I'd like to see a complete list over all years of a particular category. It is too difficult to search through the whole list of all s/w sorted alphabetically.

I'd appreciate anyone who could explain.

Ok go and look under graphics and you wil not see "ulead gif animator 2.0" but look under the archives and your see it.
Now you have to go to alphabetically list and click on U to see the "ulead gif animator 2.0" listed.
If it can list of all graphics for all years I have not found out how.
It wouls be more easy if you could sort tru all years by group.

OK. Thanks very much Hewee.

You sure replied fast. You have this on an Instant Messanger?

You should be given an award for dedication.

Thanks again

Pricelessware.org is no longer maintained and hasn't been updated in quite a while.
The updated site is here:
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/
I wasn't sure everyone was aware of that.

Boot-Vis
I have often seen references to some MS tool called Boot-Vis that provides a set of graphs showing you how your PC performs on boot-up.

It enables you to improve your bootup speed because it shows you what actually goes on and does it in a visual style.

The thing is, every link I've ever seen to this has been disabled or the software was yanked for some reason.

Well, after searching for two years, I found a working version and it's fantastic.

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Go to number 31 Windows XP Startup - Boot Performance

I have never seen another tool that provides this kind of information and I'm seeing some stuff in my bootup log that doesn't look like it belongs here. This might be a good way to find malware.

In all fairness, there has been a lot of controversy about Boot-Vis, so before you run it, you might like to do a Google search and see what you can find and then decide whether you want to run it or not. Myself, I'm just so happy to have finally found a working version (after searching for years) that I just ran it and can't believe the nice output graphs and charts it produces. I think it's worth getting just to see how they do this.

BluxMax, although I know you mean well, but if this software or it's developers had some coflict with Microsoft I'm sure Mike wouldn't be happy about having a link to it on his site. We try to stay well in the clear here at TSG
