Before I start today's lot, I'd like to point out that 2 are BETA releases. What this means, if you are new to downloading and installing programs, is that the newest release is not necessarily the most stable version.

If you are unsure, don't install it, but wait for the "finalised" version. At least do a prior backup of your Registry and create a current Restore point, as well, if you want to try these BETA's.

A new month coming up.

I'd like your thoughts on getting more people to read these monthly postings, bearing in mind it has been always been about alerting readers to programs they might be interested in, from the www.majorgeeks.com front page.

I don't really want to change this aspect as I hope it encourages readers to become MG members. I also don't test all programs as some do not interest me, in particular, but might have broader appeal.

I'd rather show the Ratings as this is better than me posting a sole opinion.

What am I doing right?
What am I doing wrong?

All suggestions (preferably constructive ) welcome. Bazza

BTW, thanks to the 15-20 regulars who read my ramblings daily. :cool :major Baz
