Have you looked at the scientific view (View --> Scientific)?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Oops... I guess it's been a while.

Bob I use 7 of your favorite software. Here is one to try: Yankee Clipper 3. It is a clipboard that will remember 25 or more clips. It does not forget the clips when the computer is shut down. It also has a boiler plate that never forgets. I use it every day Yankee Clipper 4 does more but is not free. Another is tclock. It is a customizable clock to replace the clock in the system tray.

Easy Cleaner is Great

Here is a list of software programs that i use on a daily basis...
http://rocketdock.com, updatechecker.exe, Wise Registry Cleaner (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/wiseregistry.html), and CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com).

I see that a lot of your favorite software is also my favorite. I don't know anything about Notetab as a text editor but my favorite is "EditPad." I have built around two thousand web pages using it and swear by it. One other favorite of mine is "Clipmate." It is a great clipboard extender. I just wish it worked on Linux.

I an from Latin America so i write documents in Spanish, aka accented characters. When I installed Note Tab i was unable to write simple documents using accented characters.

EDITOR'S NOTE: What specific problem did you have? NoteTab does have a multilingual spell checker, so I would assume it supports multiple languages.

I like the new photo, the hat really makes it Bob. Good call. -- C. D. Howland, Fort Worth, Texas

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm not a Texan, but I do like the hat. :-)

I use the freeware GIMP for photo editing on both Windows and Linux platforms, rather than PaintShopPro.

I use the freeware PDF Creator program (on Source Forge) that installs as a Window printer with a few extra features. I add it to almost every system I work on.

Gotta' agree on Irfanview, but another product you may have overlooked is MWSnap (also freeware) -- it is absolutely great for screen captures (full or partial).

X-rayPC downloads from xblock.com and ZoneAlarm posted this message: "ZoneAlarm has found that http://xblock.com may be unsafe. This website has been known to distribute spyware." Is this true, Bob?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Definitely a false positive -- Xblock is squeaky clean. Probably sets off the alarm because it contains the "signatures" or identifying elements of various spyware and viruses.
