I ran across this tool a few years ago, but more people have asked about it, so here you go. What this free tool does is analyze all those End User License Agreements (EULA) that we agree to blindly when we install new software or sign up for an online service.
After downloading and installing this tool, you can use it to analyze the agreement for you before you click agree. It will hunt for things like privacy problems, potential security issues, add-ons to the product you are installing that you didn’t realize were getting added (a huge problem), and other problems that you may overlook.
Definitely worth downloading and using if you are a serial downloader and love to install third party programs.

Here is a link for that downloader program that helps download streaming video from the web.
Sally called today and wondered how to get her iTunes to a micro-SD card that she can then listen to on her cell phone. I’m not sure of the legality of this program, but it appears to do the trick. It’s called Sound Taxi.
Garry called in today and asked if we had mentioned anything about the K-Meleon browser. We hadn’t, but now we have. Thanks Garry!
