RK launcher –Taskbar with style

Are you tired of windows (xp’s) drab taskbar…wow we get 3!!! whole colors …thats … boring .. you have seen mac os and its shiny dock right ?

 and though … man it would be cool if  Icould have that on windows…well you can

 There have been others like it…like objectdock and Yz’s dock…but this is the most streamlined and simple…objectdock has adds and bugs you when you have the free version

It also supports small addons called “docklets” they can be anything from a clock to an email checker…this is a cool app and as all others on this site

ITS FREE

Mozy –free reliable backups

A while back (6 months) I discovered a service called mozy …it was in its infancy with only one gig and kind of slow….not very streamlined… but NOW mozy is in beta and has up to 2.3 gigs for FREE it automatically backs up incrementally after the first Big backup where you upload a bunch of stuff at once…2.3 gigs may not SEEM big…but when all you have is webserver backups/docs/pictures 2 gigs goes a long way…anyway…here are the screenshots

The installer is pretty routine , until the 3rd screen where it asks for your mozy account and password … after that it asks you to select all the folders you want to backup

They have pretty fast servers…but the average (upload) speed for broadband isn’t all that fast …so to backup the entire 2.3 gigs of your quota (for free) will take about a day

The nice feature of mozy is that once it does the initial backup … it monitors the folders you selected for new files …then ONLY when your computer is idle it uploads them to keep them up to date on mozy’s servers

This is a pretty cool app especially for free

I give this app a 9/10

get it at Mozy.org
