So, a little 411 on the software is not out of line...it would save us ALL a lot of time, and headaches....of what good and what is bad. ie: Super Duper cleaner.exe (blah blah blah.) ( works on xp and vista ) Have NOT use it. (sign joe smith) IF You have used it: Super Duper cleaner.exe ie: Works great, couple of bugs, with (blah, blah, blah...) (sign joe smith) Cheer's Rick

Didn't keep anything - on the side of largely, between NET and JAVA endowments - with tendencies to walk all over a system, actively open links for a tolerable registry entries. Me, I'm a bit simpler and try and keep things on the side of tightly contained. As usual, I ghosted everything back after a cursory looksee. Turned out viewers primarily caught my interest after time enough, going straight through the links: Notable mention for Martview -- An eBook reader to maximize computer reading pleasure on computer. The "new" concept for digital reading. Pretty damn cute. It's got a "page book" look to it in the horizontal mode (didn't try the vertical). Nice potential for what I could use it -- practically for two (squeezing more is pushing) consecutive pages of musical composition. An advantage to keeping a flow and overall appreciation, as opposed to "turning the page" or "moving" the page somewhere between the beginning and end. I do my reading not on this HD 32" TTL, but a 42" commercial grade NEC. Probably would work, although for the time being I'll stay settled with Foxit Reader. Don't recall, offhand, anything unusual in the JAVA gyroscopics dept. when installing Foxit. Simple and adequate to what it does. Pare down that Martview, though, and might have something on a roll.

I am satisfied enough to have freeware apps merely brought to my attention. If I want more info I can just click on the handy link provided. There is room here for both FYI and descriptive posts.

You think it's fair to ask a poster to go back and comment on 100+ apps that he brought to our attention? > If the OP had nothing >more to share then that's every bit as fair IMO. Nothing wrong with an FYI post. Why not investigate the apps yourself? After all, the links were provided and you already know that they're freeware apps of the PDF genre. |
