   3.3.1.13971 (Aug 16, 2011)

   I wish it would support SFTP or FTP over SSH. I did not use BC very much except when inspecting colleague's listings, but I always got great results and it saved me hours of work. But the support of sftp would be good, as all our servers have ftp turned off by default.

   Review - Calibre

   0.7.28 (Nov 16, 2010)

   I use Calibre mainly to retrieve the RSS feeds from news sites such as BetaNews. I had some problems with the user interface, but this is mainly a UI issue, and the way I can enter the feed and manage them. Once, with a previous version, I had a problem where the device completely reset itself. But I am not ready to blame Calibre.

   Review - AutoPuTTY

   0.24.1 (May 6, 2010)

   Nice application. I use it for PuTTY and for RDP, I would like to get another option, that would be for launching NX, FreeNX, or other similar clients. PuTTY and RDP are my main two terminal connection, but I use NX servers more and more.

   I've been using this program for over a year now and it's always been great. I also very much like the timestamp changing and syncing feature.

   Go vi !!!
   
   For my needs of file editing, I still prefer to use the good old vi. Works everywhere, has powerful features, and works in a terminal environment, which is most of the servers that I manage today. I learned vi 22 years ago, and I still use it. Sometime gedit is a good tool, especially for UTF-8 files, but vi remains my favorite tool so far.

   Any idea about the IP(s) that it is calling ? I guess I could find this somewhere on the net. This is because we may want to block all of this on our corporate firewall. I work in IT Security, and by nature I don't trust microsoft.
