Burning Bonanza

Advantages: so easy a monkey could use it
Disadvantages: direct cd and take2 issues

...of friends and tried Roxio's easy cd creator 5 platinum. A word of warning though. During installation you have the choice of installing a program called 'take 2' which automatically starts on startup and runs in your task bar. It is meant to be there for quick and easy drag and dropping files onto a blank cd to automatically save it. Bah! Humbug! It's a real waste if you ask me. It just sucked up valuable proccessing power, made start up a longer ...
...just that. for quick and easy copying of a disk this option does it for you. there is even a cd label creator option at the end of every burn. This program has a very simple layout which doesn't require reading a manual. When you go into an option all that needs to be done is right in front of you. it so simple a monkey could do it. If you do experience problems, such as the program not recognising your burner, then go to the roxio website and look ...

BackUp MyPC Deluxe Complete package

Advantages: Supports a wide range of devices and media types
Disadvantages: Limited scheduling

Backup MyPC used to be sold under the Sonic brand name but after Sonic bought Roxio, a number of their programs have changed hands. Now under the Roxio monicker, Backup MyPC 6.0 is the latest version of the now long established backup and recovery program. The Program can be used standalone but also integrates nicely with the current version of RecordNow! Deluxe. One of Backup MyPC's strengths is the wide range of hardware it supports. As well as ...
...no DOS USB drivers. Backup MyPC starts with 4 simple Wizards. You can choose from Backup, Restore, Automatic Data Protection or Disaster Recovery Preparation. Backup starts by asking if you want to backup the whole PC or just certain files/folders. If you choose the latter you get to choose which ones before proceeding. You then have to choose between a full backup or an incremental one where only new and changed files are backed up. The normal ...

Roxio Easy DVD Copy

Advantages: Simple, Easy To Use, Extensive Features, Reliable, Good Quality
Disadvantages: Premium Version Costs Extra

...videos, then i stumbled upon Roxio Easy DVD Copy and it gave me extensive menu functions and themes! Unfortunately for me, because i didn't have the premium version, if i wanted more power over customizability then i had to pay to upgrade! I could only imagine how fantastic the premium would be if i was this impressed by the basic! All you have to do is insert a blank DVD, import your video files, and it seperates them into chapters for your, you ...
...i say chapters, i mean buttons that you can highlight with your Mouse/Remote Control and not have to watch through the whole film! And certain DVD players even allow you to use the chapter skip button to flick to your next "button" without haveing to go back to the menu screen! Then press the big red button that says "RECORD" ...

A (non) protector whilst using the internet

Advantages: After using it - NONE

What is it?

...software is 128MB RAM and 10MB of hard-disc space for program installation. The requirements are minimal, but since most antivirus software programs are small and un-intrusive programs this is to be expected. Deluxe is compatible with many operating systems include Vista, XP, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows ME, so even those of you with much older machines will be able to benefit from Deluxe.
