• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Software to image your hard drive in part or full.

This software has saved me from Brand new hard drive failures twice in the last few months.

Reflect is the name it comes in two flavors

Full blown version for $39.99 (well worth the cost)

Free but limited features http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp

The free version is all you need but when the software saves you a couple of times its time to purchase the payware version.
 
Nice little application for converting documents and images into pdf files.

Might come in handy for developers who need to write content for their add-on's or those who want to write tutorials and present them in a professional looking format.

On the first of last month ... SuperAntiSpyware and it's author, Nick Skrepetos, hit me for $199.99 x 4 in the name of Koram Games. Do not have this on your computer. It's a backdoor so he can get your PayPal account and password. Thats $799.96
 
Microsoft Security Essentials.... free. This is the best antivirus software I've used in a long time. It's picked up stuff that nothing else would touch.
