CoffeeFiend Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Firewall: My good hardware firewall is all I needAV: KasperskyWin Tuning: regeditDownload: GetRight/httrack/the one in firefoxemail (uh, does gmail web mail count?)Web Design: dreamweaver mx 2004 to throw things together quickly (although there's alot of good ones-not talking about frontpage here lol-and some nice utilities) Otherwise, for neat & clean code... even notepad works fine.Graphics Development: Photoshop CS HANDS DOWN (well, the whole adobe creative suite really) and a whole bunch of other stuff you need (like camera RAW software, plugins, utilities, ...)hd optimization: Just switched recently from O&O to Raxco PerfectDisk...windows error checking: nothing, if it works it works, if it's messed bad reinstall it/reghost. These utilities mess your PC more than anything usually.Anything else? hmm. *WAY* too much to list here hehe(lots of other categories you didn't touch)[edit: darn typos] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosselman Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Mosselman -Exactly why was this comment-Haha I guess its an American thing then to not think further then your nose is long...-needed? Because 2 Americans stated that using a download manager was outdated or of no use at all, thought they didnt look past the process of getting something in one go thus forgetting to see that download managers are very usefull still even if you have broadband.Was just a joke .

Nologic Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Mosselman -Well the Anti-American ribbings are getting old on this board.Download managers are useful...tho in general they do lose a lot of their appeal once one has broadband, since most downloads take little to no time to get even if it fails once or twice.That said tho....I still install GetRight when ever a high demand file comes out, like when a new copy of one of my fav Linux Distro's comes out...with a DM I have no problem aquiring it...where others may have to wait a day or so to get it.Also most P2P file sharing apps are just over glorified DM's.Any ways if you could please knock off the ribbings.
