Hi Everyone!!

I know I haven't been here in a while but, I too have been busy.

I did however manage to find the time to scoop-up a few other
programs that might interest you.

iZarc : This is a archive utility that will unzip almost ANY file format.

It also has quite a few other tools that I'm sure will be very useful.

IZarc ultimate Utility.

The next place I found interesting was HoverDesk.net

Here you will find a few more utilities to play with

HoverDesk.

This utility is for the Hard Drive. It will report on the health and other attributes of the HDD.

HD Tune is a hard disk utility which has the following functions:

• Benchmark: measures the raw performance
• Transfer Rate
• Access Time
• CPU Usage
• Burst Rate
• Hard Disk information which includes partition information, supported
  features, firmware version, serial number, disk capacity, buffer size,
  transfer mode
• Hard Disk Health
  • S.M.A.R.T. Information (*S*elf-*M*onitoring *A*nalysis and *R*eporting *T*echnology)
  • Power On Time
• Error scan
• Temperature display
• Copy text to clipboard
• Copy screenshot to clipboard

is a small program which gathers important information about your system.

Find it at the same site as HD Tune.

EDF Inspector .

*EDF*Software have a few more very interrseting little programs to monitor

your PC's Systems.

I also have found this little application useful. It's along the lines of

HD Tune but, has a few more tweaks that you can add to your
