- Interbase/Firebird Development Studio 5.0 — Any database specialist knows how much his work effectiveness depends on the «right» tools.

- Atropos-SB ver.2005.05.25. The Organizer for Voices — In our normal «text-based digital life» we have one (or a couple of) programs to organize all those different texts we have — e-mail messages and IM conversations, notes and to-dos, diaries, etc. But ***when we try to talk instead of typing, we always stumble over the problem: how to record and remember phone calls…
- IsoBuster 2.0, Optical Disk Surgery — IsoBuster has shocked me. Those several small windows under the covers contain such an incredible number of tools for broken optical disks! When I say «optical disks», I mean virtually any optical media from the «ancient» CR ROMs and up to HD DVD and Blu Ray disks, which are still more in the future than in the present…
- The vOICe, Sound of Sight — Blind people lack one of the five human senses. Vision may be the main one out of the five, but it is not the only one.

It has many options, pretty interface, and works fast with any host application that supports Photoshop plugins. In not-so-short, Page Curl Pro has gone beyond the boundaries of just…
- Euphoria Programming Language, Software Development Made Easy — Do you like the modern software? I’d doubt that and don’t know anyone who does — today’s software sucks, to put it mildly; it’s crooked and works not the way it’s supposed to. If you were to re-write all the software that’s installed on your computer, you would have definitely made…
- LiveProject Free Project Viewer, Read and Share Project Files Naturally — Can you even imagine having to install a heavy-weight editor just to view documents created with it; say, Photoshop for viewing images or MS Word for reading rich-text formatted documents?
