   Review - LibreOffice for Windows

   3.5.0 RC3 (Feb 3, 2012)

   I'm always surprised how infatuated idiots are able to talk nonsense in such a pompous and pseudo-technical way. Hilbert's logorrhoea is a pathetic example for this ridiculous tendency: take a word-processor and blame it for not being able to work with a 505 page PDF file as quickly as a specialized PDF reader (Foxit)! Take a plough and blame it for being slower than a Maserati (well, try to use a Maserati in a corn field). I happen to use OpenOffice and now LibreOffice to write books (12 by now), with tons of footnotes, indexes, technical formulae, ... and I feel quite happy with the result (and so the readers). LibreOffice IS an office suite, not less, not more, and it does make the job beautifully AND it's free. Many thanks to the community of developpers for this great piece of software. Sorry for my English, this is not my mother tongue.

   Review - Collector

   0.6 (May 22, 2010)

   Surprise, Aussies are usually good at designing software. This one is an exception and absolute rubbish! I tried hard to figure out how this "Collector" is supposed to work with the result that it systematically crashed. On opening the included Help file, it crashed as well, so don't expect any help from the program itself. The best way to handle it is to erase it from your hard disk and forget it. Good point: the author is honest enough not to ask for money.

   Review - FastStone Capture

   5.5 (May 23, 2007)

   It used to be a great utility, but the stealth method used to "introduce" the shareware version version without any anouncement is simply disgusting! I turn back to IrfanView instead or I'll buy SnagIt which is anyway much better.

   Review - Lipikar

   3.0.0 RC2 (May 19, 2007)

   Great utility! Very helpful when you have to write a couple of old Greek lines in an English text or a sentence in Sütterlin in a German essay. Quite Easy to use as well, except for languages written from right to left (Hebrew, Arabic,...): the only way I found was to right-align the text and write the sentences backwards! A rather tedious way, or is there another possibility I overlooked?

   Review - Transfz

   1.05 Beta (Apr 2, 2007)

   My anti-virus programme (Avast) prevents the installation of Transfz because of the presence in it of the worm Sohanad-I! Is this a deliberate intrusion attempt from Transfz' s author or has his file been hacked?
