  1. Review - FeedDemon

    1.5 Beta 2 (Oct 31, 2004)

    I've tried several aggregators, both Web-based and stanalone apps. FeedDemon is without doubt the best.

  2. Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

    7.0 Build 279 Beta (Oct 31, 2004)

    It's not a trial version, it's a *beta* version! That's what this site is all about.

    From the AVG site: "This Beta version of AVG Free Edition will expire 11/30/2004. By this time, the final version of this product will be available for your free download."

  3. Review - Geek Superhero

    1.0.2 (Apr 9, 2004)

    I hated the default interface and wasted no time in changing it to Windows default -- I am no fan of the Windows default, but this makes it look wonderful. I'd suggest toning it down, at least. Many people might not realise how to chnage the interface and be put off from buying it.

    The program itself is good, and works well.

  4. Review - FeedDemon

    1.0 Beta 2A (Jul 20, 2003)

    Easily the best aggregator around, with loads of user-friendly features. Be warned that there is no help file yet, so if RSS is a closed book to you you might do best to drop by Nick's newsgroup at news://news.bradsoft.com/feeddemonbeta before running it.

  5. Review - Paint Shop Pro

    8.0 Beta 2 (Feb 21, 2003)

    Excellent. As good as Photoshop for most purposes, and the addition of scripting has opened up a whole new area. I must say I found the new GUI a little confusing at first, but I suspect that will soon wear off once I've used it a few more times.
