product review

I'm not sure what the current exchange rate is, but at one time a picture was purported to be equal to a thousand words. So here's a picture of the hard drive of one of my computers...

The tool I use most often is CCleaner. This free application from Piriform is a system utility that is quite effective at cleaning up computers using the Windows operating system. The tool covers three areas.

One of the side effects of continually increasing your computer storage space is that you can end up with a pile of spare hard drives. If you don’t have another computer to put them into, Thermaltake offers an interesting solution, the BlacX Duet storage controller, at a suggested retail price of $69.99.

The BlacX Duet allows you to drop one or two hard drives into the controller. When attached to a computer, each drive appears as an additional local drive. You can easily remove either of the drives and insert another drive from your collection of spares.
