PowerhouseSoft Migo/ Imaginelan P.I. Protector

With a USB drive, some people may not realize that there is more than you can do with a portable drive than plainly moving/copying files on and off of the drive.  When you are using a USB drive from one computer to another, people tend to get lost figuring out which files are newly updated and which are older.  With powerful software, you can carry more than just your files, you can carry your email as well.  Let me introduce you to two products that do just that: PowerhouseSoft's Migo and Imaginelan's P.I.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 8 from ScanSoft

About 10 months ago we reviewed version 7.3 of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. We were quite impressed with the package even though it struggled with my curious mix of Dutch, American and Australian accents. When ScanSoft announced that the new version would have a much improved accuracy rate I was keen to try this one out. We reviewed the Preferred Edition which includes all the features that the Standard Edition has but also works with Microsoft Excel, has voice playback, correction and proofing. DNS8 will insert your signature, logo or boilerplate text in a file with a simple voice command and includes ScanSoft RealSpeak for turning text into human sounding synthesised speech. More...

City of Heroes by NCSoft

As an avid gamer, I have played many types of computer games ranging from first person shooters (FPS) to real-time strategy games (RTS).  Unfortunately, I have to admit that I never really had the time to look into the online multiplayer role-playing genre.   These types of games can immediately be traced to popular game names such as Everquest or Ultima Online.
