Manufacturer's product description
ACS V8.6-1 provides storage controller software capability for the StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controllers. ACS with Snapshot capability offers a quick and efficient way to make a point-in-time copy of a storage container's data. Snapshot freezes a map of the container's data, which can be separated and used for back-up or testing and manipulation without impacting the original data. After the Snapshot, the original data can continue to be updated and utilized while the Snapshot copy remains unchanged. When the need for the duplicate copy of data is ended a new snap of a different storage container can be made and the process repeated. Snapshot eliminates much of the overhead associated with mirroring and cloning as the snap is dissolved without having to re-merge the data.
Advantages: Power for Pounds Disadvantages: None to speak of
...This opinion is really of Paint Shop Pro 7 Anniversary Edition which is the last incarnation of the package before the release of instalment number 8. Added to the original deal are an array of plug-in filters that increase the power of this remarkable piece of software even further.
Also included is the excellent Animation Shop 3, this tool allows the designer to create animated GIF's that can be used on web pages. Animation Shop provides a banner animation wizard as well, a very handy shortcut to dynamic results.
As a web designer the choice of a graphics package is an important one. But for me the one that really stood out was this one, you really cannot find anything else on the market that is anywhere near as cheap as PSP7AE that performs nearly as well. The functionality and ease of use where obviously prime factor the designers...

Advantages: ease of use, VST's, sound, Disadvantages: heavy CPU load at times
...I've been into making computer music for a number of years now and tried and tested much software but none comes close in my opinion for value for money than Magix's deluxe music maker. Whether your into Midi or just looping samples this programme really has it all with its excellent array of of VST's ( virtual instruments ) from drums to samplers and sequencers. Just drag them into the song interface and combine them with your loops which Magix kindly provides and your on your way to creating songs in no time. If your stuck for ideas one can use the songmaker function which quite literally arranges a song for you which is great for extra musical inspiration..
There's also an excellent mixer where you can control your volume levels , pan and FX. As if all this were not enough there is also the ability to create videos which again Magix...

Advantages: easy to install and set up, easy to use and learn Disadvantages: nore that I can think of at present
...-link cable at UK£24, thus hiking up the price, luckily the shop gave me a refund on the Sony cable but still involved me another journey.
Anyway,card installed veru easily, found no problem with installing software.
Connecting firewire compatable DV Camera was a breeze.
Once installed and the camera connected, the software takes control of your camera and you can perform all actions (other than taking the tape out!) via the keyboard and mouse.
There is a superb demo film that gets installed when you set up the software.
The manual is easy to read and guides you through how to adapt the pre-installed video e.g. move scenes, cut scenes,add a title,add additional sound tracks and voice overs.
Preview mode will store 60 minutes digital video in only 150Mb of disk space. Only when you are happy with your editing will it capture in full mode...
