Using a text editor is unavoidable part to any computer professional. For all these tasks, I think of some features:- Spell checking- (un)Wrapping long lines- Search and Replace (using regular expressions is a huge plus)- Supporting both UNIX and Windows "new line" formats (LF and CRLF)- Highlighting special keywords depending on application- Multi selection- Managing HUGE files- Extra tools:

For a long time Opera was the most compact, and feature rich browser of the three.Built in mailing, chatting, calender, and of course very clean browsing.It contained MDI (multi document interface) for the pages, reduce the dektop clutter, and makes it easier to reach what you want.NOW, Firefox takes this place. With hundreds (or thousands) of plugins, you can do almost everything from within

For sure: Total Commander.Short message. That tool is simply great. Much better than Microsoft Explorer (Exploder). It can do most of the simple tasks you need (from compressing, to FTP, encoding/decoding MIME and UUE, and support plugins).Very stable, and light weight. Nothing else you need. A MUST HAVE. It is a shareware. But you can live with it for years. Although I recommend supporting the

It is almost embarrassing how we might be sitting by our PC then we turn to the cell phone to adjust the alarm.... right ? Here I will suggest a few freeware applets that release us from this bad feeling :)One might say, Well Microsoft Outlook can do that for me. May be (not all features however). But it is bloated.

There a lot of blogs, websites, etc dedicated for software reviews. Here, we focus only on simple things. Quick reviews: Good/Bad kind of reviews with short comments.Many minor tweaks a computer can do that will turn his machine upside down and give it a huge performance and style boost. This is the type of things we are talking about. And as far as I am concerned, all my suggestions will be free
