   Review - Gmail Notifier Pro

   5.0 (May 20, 2013)

   Still the very best gmail notifier program around currently, has continued support with added features all the time. If there is now a better all around notifier, I can't find it. No I'm NOT paid to say that, I'm just an end user like you!! Great work Patrik!!

   Review - Google Drive for Windows

   1.9.4536 (Apr 26, 2013)

   I initially got an "Unknown Installer Error", so I uninstalled the version I had and rebooted and then ran the install, then during the install it told me my Google drive wasn't empty, so I delted all the files, then signed in and all my files were downloaded from the cloud from the previous install. A 4 rating because it was complex to install new software

   Review - Image for Windows

   2.81 (Apr 22, 2013)

   @Sweathog,
   
   I actually never saw your previous post but let me reply to your reply with this release
   
   1. IFW is faster than Windows 7 Backup & Restore
   Windows 7 back-up runs between 15 minutes and 45 minutes on my system (incremental VS Full) and it runs at 3AM when I'm asleep so speed doesn't matter to me. Restores take about 45 minutes for my C: disk which is 1.35TB and 1.27TB free.
   2. IFW can compress image files to save hard disk space
   I don't need compression, I have a 2TB external USB(VERY CHEAP to buy) that I put every possible back-up on, Windows manages the space on the external drive just fine, never had a problem.
   3. IFW can restore file formats other than FAT32 and NTFS
   My C: drive is NTFS, I have no use for any other format restoration!
   4. IFW can make differential backups
   Win 7 back-up can make incremental back-ups and there is almost no difference between incremental and differential, please explain what is better about differential VS incremental OK?
   5. IFW can be scripted to restore and/or backup images and files without user intervention, etc. etc.
   I only want to do a full system restoration if my system gets "Hosed". Otherwise I have zero need to restore my system, as far as Back-ups go, Windows 7 allows a fully customizable scheduler to run my back-up anytime I want it run.
   
   If, God forbid, your Windows installation ever becomes hosed and you can't boot to the graphical interface, you will appreciate the speed and ease of use of a utility like IFW. Worth every dollar I paid for it.
   You make a system restore DVD from the Win 7 back-up software and burn it, I've booted from this DVD many times and it allows me to run a FULL system restore, what is the IFW advantage?
   
   I'll say the same thing I did last time, why would I pay for IFW when in Win 7 or now Win 8 system also has a FULL back-up and recovery tool is provided with the system software, if set up correctly, works perfectly, with Windows XP I used to have Acronis, no more paid for software when FREE software works just fine for me Win 7

   Review - Google Chrome (v28)

   28.0.1469.0 Dev (Apr 9, 2013)

   Chrome is a superior Browser which is updated every 4 to 6 weeks, works across many platforms, has the best extensions and probably the top rated browser for people in the know!

   Review - Gmail Notifier Pro

   4.6.1 (Feb 18, 2013)

   This software is now, in my estimation, the very best Gmail notifier on the market, it has more features than any other. The author Patrik takes everyone's suggestions into account and works to implement them if feasible. This will be the best $12.95 you ever spent if you want the best notifier possible!
