KeyPass Portable 4.9.7
# Operating system: Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista/7/NT
# Date added: June 05, 2010
Although its portability is a big selling point, we encountered some minor program errors with this Web site password saver. KeyPass is a U3 application, so you’ll need Launchpad enabled on your flash drive to install this app. The multitabbed interface takes only a quick read of the manual to comprehend. However, testers reported the app sometimes popped up with an error message while reading the Help screen. They found that minimizing the program before scrolling down the Help file seems to forestall any errors.
Operating KeyPass is front loaded. You’ll have to manually save usernames, passwords, and code login scripts for each site you want to save. The scripts are very basic and most users will pick up the few commands with very little practice. Invoking the app to paste in username, password, and other data takes just a Ctrl-right-click in the first field. A small pop-up lists all saved accounts. Scroll to the one you need and click. Users with many Web accounts may find the scroll process a pain, but it is easy to create subfolders for better organization.
Though it lists no limitations, the free edition is capped at 10 entries. Sure, the easy scripting to type in the passwords makes KeyPass helpful. We’d have preferred if the app also captured the passwords and other data as we typed them to log in. Nevertheless, the portability and ease of use means this is a password keeper you’ll want to test.
Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2009
With Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2008, the software behemoth from Seattle proves it’s capable of producing high-quality, free software for the masses. Beneath the clean layout, big icons, and point-and-click interface sits a foundation of solid business features that can benefit almost any company.
The freeware version covers most imaginable needs a small business might have for supportive software. Charge customers’ credit cards or manage your bank accounts, payroll, and vendors. You can create and log invoices, quotes, cash sales, and even refunds. Beyond that, the program provides for the modern business, featuring built-in PayPal functionality–an absolute necessity for e-commerce–and a built-in connection to your Equifax profile for looking up credit profiles. There’s also a letter-writing function with modifiable templates, simplifying your communication with clients and vendor.
The paid version provides more features, such as multiple user profiles, international currency support, regional transaction tracking, and a fixed asset manager.
As part of the Microsoft Office suite, the program includes contact-list integration with Outlook. Unfortunately, the installation is enormous and time-consuming, and it surreptitiously installs Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Secret installations do not instill confidence. The “advanced options” screen during the install process allows users to choose different database managers, if they have alternatives, but the choice isn’t explicitly clear.
Overall, Office Accounting Express is an incredible piece of software for business managers. Comprehensive and obviously affordable, Office Accounting Express is hard to beat for business-software value.

Like all mind maps, FreeMind gives you the flexibility to organize thoughts on a page as they connect to each other and to the larger picture. After all, not all minds reason in subheadings and bullet points. You shape, place, and name that master idea (the root node), then create child or sibling spokes that relate to it.
FreeMind encompasses a fine range of features, including scads of icons and color formatting options to help you visually organize concepts. It also supports hyperlinks, which allow you to link Web sites and even documents to a map. In addition, you’ll be able to export your landscape of thoughts in a variety of formats, including HTML, PDF, and JPEG. As flexible as it lets your mind be, FreeMind works within an older-style logical structure that could get frustrating for some. For instance, you must insert nodes by hand or using a hot key; you can’t click and drag to create them (a shame).
It’s evident how mind maps like FreeMind can hasten note-taking, or help you visualize a project, paper, or process. However, a revamped interface with more intuitive drag-and-drop functionality and versioning for collaborators wouldn’t hurt, either.
“Graphing, digitizing and curve-fitting software.”
Are you an engineer, scientist or graduate student looking for a graphing tool that will allow you to quickly analyze graphed data without having to immerse yourself into Calculus and statistics books?
The problem
Sometimes it is necessary to compare the data obtained from independent sources to Modern data. Typically input data sources are line graphs or scatter Diagrams from Internet pages, text files, Excel tables or personal raw data. You want the ability to remove false points and add desirable points interactively.
The solution
Use FindGraph. It\’s quick and easy! FindGraph is a comprehensive, feature-rich graphing, digitizing and Curve Fitting software specially created for these purposes. Take any graph or data from any source (Web or PDF document, for example), add your comments, and perform any manipulations, like nonlinear regression or curve fitting. Then print your results or export them to Excel or other database.
FindGraph is COM server. This means, that plot can be copied and pasted (embedded) directly into word processors, Excel or drawing programs. The program supports OLE automation and can be built-in to user software. Examples (MS VB, MS VC++) are included. Methods and properties are documented.
