Techno Gaffes

I rarely have time to post reviews of software or gadgets, but since my Blackberry was slow to deliver emails thanks to Research in Motion’s technical difficulties on Wednesday, I’d like to take some time and issue a gold star to Recuva by Piriform Ltd. I accidentally deleted an important database, and after I threw a pile of junk off my desk in frustration, went searching for some recovery software as the file I deleted was too big for the Recycle Bin and was on a Windows 2003 server. After finding other software vendors that charged anywhere from $49.95 to $89.95 to an insane vendor at several hundred dollars, I found this little lifesaver. The best of all….it’s free. I promise to donate after my next paycheck, but I hope spreading the word about Recuva and their three other free apps will do for now. Thanks guys!
