Must have software
Is there software that you find you can not live without? I just reloaded Vista (and it still has issues, btw), and I found there is some software that will make the reload list.
I am sure we have done this before, but why not a revisit. Please list the software, what it does, and if possible a link. ACDSee (Picture viewing, editing and organization software) www.acdsee.com TreeSize Pro (Shows you where your hard drive space is being used). www.jam-software.com WinRar (compression/decompression) software www.winrar.de I look forward to your listings. t.

SUN Studio 12: Development software http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/index.jsp Adobe PhotoShop CS2: Best graphics software EVER www.adobe.com MS Visual Studio 2005 Professional: Development IDE unRAR (basically winrar for UNIX) MPlayer: Open source movie player Azereus: BitTorrent Client ...there's probably more...

Avast, Winpatrol, AVG anti-spyware, Firefox, Thunderbird, Belarc advisor and Driver Magician will keep you pretty much bullet proof.

If I were stuck on a deserted island and had the choice of bringing with me only two tools, they would be:
1. A satellite phone 2. Microsoft Excel. I use Excel every single day to keep track of what needs to get done, as well as chart progress, user requests, trending - I even keep my track days ordered in a spreadsheet! Lots of folks love Excel for the pretty charts and graphs - I don't need it for that -- it's the numbers that matter. Remember in the Matrix - that guy on the ship looking at all the numbers? I suppose that's how I see the world...  -Z-man.

No one could find me, or my computer, interesting. Spy away. I can hear someone at Google yawning right now.

I can't believe you all run without anti-virus and firewalls

I agree with you on SecureCrt. As a former Cisco admin this was one of my daily tools.
My wife works at Symantec, so we run all their stuff. (And that's not always good!) As a former Veritas guy I am loyal to their backup and StorageFoundation stuff. I run Ubuntu for the home file server, but Vista for the gaming machine (only for DirectX 10). I am also a fan of Camino (browser for the Mac). What is spider/spiderbite?
