AutoCAD LT97 ? AutoGLAD I?m using it!

Advantages: Powerful and relatively cheap
Disadvantages: None

...As you are probably aware, there are literally tons of different versions of AutoCAD to choose from. AutoCAD LT97 is purely the version that I?m using at the moment and for your typical tech. drawing office duties, I can?t think of a better package for the price. I have worked with numerous versions myself (starting with release 11) and I have also encountered release 14 and AutoCAD 2000. Both r14 and 2000 supersede 97 but you?ll only really need to use these if you?re pretty involved with 3D/Modelling/MOSS work, either that or you tend to incorporate tons of images within your drawings. If not, then there?s not really a need to bother with either r14 or 2000. To be honest, the sheer cost of either of these alternatives will be enough to put most (smaller) firms off completely (you could probably buy another car). For you folks...

This chewing gum comes in all the mint flavours and comes in a rectangle shape...

Mac OS X (Complete Package)

Advantages: Very similar to Windows XP
Disadvantages: Very different from Mac OS 9

...a much more logical manner which are easily accessible.Also recently I discovered OSX comes with a game of chess which I have to say is very addictive. When I first saw OS X I was like O' my god this is completely different - but it only took me a few days before I got the hang of it and could then see all the positive things about it. I would certainly recommend this to anyone!...

Ulead VideoStudio 8 Complete Package

Advantages: Ease of use, SmartSound, improved audio and titling
Disadvantages: No background rendering, some new features a bit fiddly.

...and convert them to a different format in one hit. Nice to see is the support for MPEG4 (DIVX) and AC3 Dolby Digital audio as well as 16:9 footage. Note though that the first two options require plug-ins at additional cost (£13.78 each). Ulead have done their best to ensure you have as much at your disposal as possible when it comes to creating your video masterpieces. One things still sorely lacking though is background rendering. Until you prepare your final output either to tape or DVD/CD, no rendering is done. Pinnacle's Studio 9 does this in the background as you work and it's a great time saver when filters and effects have been used. Conclusion Whilst I felt some of the newer features could have been more intuitive in use, they all added to what was already an impressive package. I wasn't much impressed by the Movie Wizard but that...

BackUp MyPC Deluxe Complete package

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

...scheduler offering the ability to do a full backup of all files on a designated day of the week and optionally to do an incremental one on the other days. I wasn't very impressed with this and felt this option seriously lacked flexibility. The only saving grace it had was that you could specify the user account and password this task would run under to ensure it completed successfully even if someone else was using the PC Finally, there is Disaster Recovery Preparation. This analyses the PC before recommending exactly what you need to do a full recovery from scratch in the case of total loss of the hard drive or a similar catastrophic failure. I tried it on a test laptop which it duly analysed before advising we needed a Windows XP Pro CD, 4 floppy disks and a blank DVD-R. All well and good but the laptop had no floppy disk drive so that was...

Review of BackUp MyPC Deluxe Complete package

an excellent entry level program

Advantages: the best product on the market
Disadvantages: poor raster image support

...building a house or even some wort of plan equipment this package will handle what you need. there are newer version of autocad out up to autocad 2006 but with all package when they first come will cost you thousands of pounds and do practically the same thing but just have a few tweaked features. the only downside to this package is when you work with raster images instead of the picture printing out in the quality it is taken you may have to tweak it in the printers settings but this is no problem once you have found te settings. no great lot of power is required to do 2d drawings such as plans howeveer when working on large 3d models i recommend that you have a fairly decent graphics card which will allow you to work alot more smoothly. the help facility in cad is excellent if you are strugglingthe remember how to use a command such...

Death by a thousand cuts or a brilliant presentation package?

Advantages: A great tool for the creation of formal and educational presentations.
Disadvantages: Takes time and practice to become a confident, competent user.

...Death by a thousand cuts or a brilliant presentational package?MS PowerPoint MS PowerPoint is a powerful graphics programme that has transformed the manner in which we prepare and deliver presentations. You can create, customise, animate and print presentations. It enables you to communicate information clearly and effectively. Many computers come with this package already installed.The MS PowerPoint version that I use is the 2003 package for Students and Teachers, working on an XP laptop. This package costs £40.00 from Amazon, if bought separately,  and is operated through Windows. The 2003 version has been superceded by newer, more sophisticated versions, the latest being MS PowerPoint 2007. However, I still find the 2003 version perfectly adequate for my present needs. There are many online training packages, much...

Microsoft's XP Package

Advantages: Great new feel, built in firewall, virus protection & automatic updates
Disadvantages: Slow at times, hackers target it

...connection or a DVD player, these are just extra things that allow you to do more with your computer. You DO have to have all the things in the System Requirements part, though, otherwise the computer won't work very well. --- Which package? --- You are now probrably wandering whether you should get Home or Professional. To be completely honest, you don't really need Professional, it's just got a few extra features, but comes at a much higher price. I have XP Home and I use the computer for business, and it works completely fine. But when it comes to upgrading that's different. You must be completely sure that the current operating sytem can be upgraded to XP. Please look below for information about this. Upgrading to Windows XP Home: Windows 3.1 - NO Any Evaluation Version - NO Any Server Version - NO Windows 95 - NO Windows 98...

The CD Package For Those With Burning Ambition

Advantages: Huge array of built-in facilities
Disadvantages: Could be overkill if you only want to make copies.

...There never was anything really wrong with Adaptec?s Easy CD Creator 4.0 Deluxe, so why am I now writing about version 5.0 Platinum? Because bl**** Windows XP Pro won?t work with the older version, that?s why! However, it would only be a matter of time before I upgraded my CD-Writer to a newer faster model, and then support for 32-speed models probably wouldn?t exist on version 4 anyway, so the enforced necessity of the upgrade isn?t a COMPLETE waste of money. In the mean time, the software is now owned by Roxio, which sounds more like a Spanish cinema chain than a software house, but that?s by the by. It was on the support page their web site, www.roxio.com that I ascertained the need for the upgrade. Windows XP only informed me that the old version might not work. But why buy CD-Burning software when the CD-Writer itself...
