Having a backup of your important data is probably one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

I can’t tell you how many different times I’ve had to fall back to a backup of a file, folder, or hard drive only to find that the backup doesn’t exist.

At that point, depending on the critical need for the backed up file/folder/drive, life is either a lot easier, or a lot more difficult.

Backup early and often. Those are words to live by. That’s why we’re thankful for applications like PC File Backup Professional.

Most of what consumers do with their computers today is wrapped around three kinds of activities: listening to music, watching videos and surfing the web.

While your browser or choice satisfies the last activity, finding a program that satisfies the first two without a lot of extra junk can be difficult, especially if you don’t want to sync music to a portable player.

The bigger music players are nice, but if all you want to do is play files, create play lists…what do you use? If the bloat is bringing you down, then you need to check out SPlayer. It’s a multimedia player for Windows that has exactly what you are and are NOT looking for.

I remember back in the day when my parents had their old reel home movies converted to VHS tape. The process was long, involved, and expensive. The movies, mostly from 1950-blah-blah-blah, were in both black and white and color; but all were silent. The conversion company took all of the movies and set them to an appropriate musical audio track. I’m certain my parents still have the tape sitting around somewhere.

Today, it’s a little easier to take home video. Heck, even your cell phone likely has a still as well as a video camera built into it. However, getting them to a viewable state from TV set to TV set isn’t always as easy as it might sound. We’re still reliant upon set top players to get access to home movies, until WinX DVD Author.
