Acronis - Backup Software: True Image 11 Home: A perfect computer backup
and recovery program that allows you to create hard disk drive clones. This is
the first phase of our proven backup system. You can also use it to increase
your internal drive capacity or down size your drive for a backup. You
only backup the data you have, so you could clone a 40GB drive to a 15GB drive
if you only had 15GB worth of data. |

Surfulater - Offline SW: I don't know how I ever lived without this tool.
Anyone who does any amount of web research and wants to save it offline,
must try it. Within the first couple of days I download 35MB of files in
an organized and clear fashion. With Surfulater you can save selected
text and images and complete web pages, then edit, annotate,
cross-reference, organize and search for information in your offline
personal and portable knowledge base. I even use it to organize all the
saved web pages I already have. |

Portable Offline File Bowser:
You can install this on your USB Flash Drive and use it at the internet
Cafe without installing a thing (they won't let you anyway). Use the
built in browser in record mode and save web pages offline as you
browse. The links stay connected so you can navigate the page on your
computer without having to open/manage lots of disjoint files. You can
even download entire web pages automatically. I use this and then bring
the data back to the boat to organize in Surfulater. |

AVG Anti-Virus Software: Everywhere you go you will see this Virus protection
software. I can almost guarantee that you won't find an internet cafe
without it, 50 million people trust it. Before I used it I had a
computer losing virus. I haven't had a problem since. Remember to update
the virus database when you first plug in after a long trip, yes even
before you check your email!! |

Google Desktop Software: Google makes some
great free products, we use the
Google Desktop to search our computer for files and offline web
pages (need mht plug-in). We use Google Earth for navigation
which shows amazing resolution of places you are going. You can even
download our
entire voyage to date, including routes and anchorages, along
with photo, journal, and blog place marks. Picasa provides a
convenient date-management system for your photos and an easy method for
uploading them to web albums to share with friends (for a more advanced,
but still easy to use, tag-based photo management read about
Adobe Elements). If the Google Pack is
available for download in your country you'll see the link here:

Google has mastered context sensitive
advertising and has two programs available:
Adsense for Webpage developers: use Google AdSense to place context
sensitive ads on your web page. It is easy to setup and may provide
enough revenue to cover the hosting expenses or more. You can also track
your web traffic through Google Analytics.
Adwords for businesses: use Google AdWords to target your products
at a specific audience. If you want to target an ad to this site you
could do it through AdWords. |

DVD Ripper Software: iSofter Platinum is designed to
backup your favorite
DVD movie to your computer by
converting DVD to AVI, DivX, XviD, VCD, WMV, or MPEG4 format video
files, with almost same quality, but at
only 10% of the sizee. Some cruisers download all of their DVDs
and store them on their computer and have 100's of movies (full length).
This might be a little much for most cruisers but the DVD ripper allows
you to back up your favorite collection. |
