Computer Utility Picks
The utilities listed on this page are the absolute best available. Whether you need a backup, partition, password, or zip tool you won't go wrong with one of these.
Do you value the data on your computer? Do you value your time? How much time will you spend recovering data and returning your computer to it's original state after a hardware failure or software glitch? Acronis True Image is my #1 pick for backup software! True Image consistantly creates backups 10-20% smaller than it's competitors and doesn't require Microsoft's .Net framework to run like Norton. True Image creates backups to internal drives, external drives, network drives, and directly to CD/DVD. If you value your data you need this program! Read my backup strategy here.

Acronis Disk Director is my current pick for drive management software. If you have a large drive this program allows you to create and manage partitions without destroying your data!

Roboform is probably the program I use most often besides Outlook. RoboForm is a password manager, and much more. You remember one password and all your other passwords are unlocked. Roboform integrates into your browser and stores website signin information. No more entering user name, password, or credit card info into forms on websites. Imagine clicking one button and entering all of your payment info. Imagine clicking one button which loads your favorite website, entering your login information, and clicks the submit button. Roboform acts like a super powered bookmark! I don't use the bookmark feature built into my browser. I use RoboForm! Give it a try, you won't look back!

WinRar is my pick for zipping files. WinRar offers better compression rates and faster operation than it's competition. WinRar also comes with a lifetime license. WinRar supports more zip formats than WinZip and is full featured without requiring addins to function. Great for emailing large files and securely archiving your data. Give it a try.
