Working with hard drives for the most part isn't all that difficult - software company A tries to distinguish itself from company B by adding features, with their GUI, or as in the case I believe with Macrorit, by using optimized code that performs tasks faster. "Ashraf was not impressed with the program and to be honest before I tested it I would have to find some in depth reviews, you don't mess with partitions so I'll give it a miss." It was in the days when the excellent Ashraf was a regular contributor and before the no button pressing squads idiotic jabbing, happy days.Īshraf was not impressed with the program and to be honest before I tested it I would have to find some in depth reviews, you don't mess with partitions so I'll give it a miss. What was utterly amazing was the quality of the comments then compared with now, it made me realise what a wonderful site this had been. It was only at version 1 and so improvements would be anticipated. Not really enough to give much information so thought I'd go back to the last time it was offered here to look at the reviews. Went on to their website and saw there was a download at CNET clicked on it in the hope they will also be reviews, a dead link!įound a few reviews on the site at CNET site at the searching:. Long may this site continue: the first of the giveaway sites and, all these years later, still the best.
kudos to GOTD itself, unique in the way it facilitates honest and, oft times, even hostile comment in regard to the very promotions it happens to be running. (Sorry, Mike: don't want to increase your workload!)įinally.
In fact - speaking as one with a particular interest in video / audio - Mike is the resource to whom everyone should turn to when impartial, definitive guidance is needed. Nowadays, however, all is far from lost, with Oootje doing some really sterling work and, but of course, Mike (who though my namesake is entirely unrelated.) Mike has consistently provided some of the best written and quietly authoritative contributions GOTD has ever seen. Sadly, my ol' brain's a bit too tired to summon up the name of the deservedly founding member of the Hall of Fame, but perhaps someone else on here can do so (White Rabbit: can you remember?) He went under the most unlikely posting ID and was the lead GOTD contributor from GOTD's Day 1, long before Ashraf debuted.Īlso much missed is XP Man, both for the quality of his posts and as a fantastic reminder that no-one should ever believe what Microsoft says in its attempts to manipulate computer users into feeding its profits flow: XP Man demonstrated time and time again that XP. They're the contributors who helped make GOTD what it is and, as you say, are much missed.
