The site likes to say "Because new isn't always better." So what is it? Maybe you paid for a program awhile back, and now you can't find the install file. Yes, you can go to the publisher, but they may only have the current version for download, and maybe you just don't want to pay for it again since you already have the license code. Or maybe you want a browser for an old box you just dusted off that only runs Win 95. The site archives (at this moment) 506 versions of 51 popular programs. Nifty!

Unfortunately, the photos are foggy as noted in ...

by Don Gosselin, Diana Kokoska, Robert Easterbrooks
Amazon Price: $92.62
Customer Review: This is a terrible book. I've had to buy several Thompson Course Technology series books written by Don Gosselin and I have not liked one. They are riddled with errors. Gosselin's approach to teaching the subject matter is mediocre at best and I'm...
Web 2.0: New Tools, New Schools
by Gwen Solomon, Lynne Schrum
Amazon Price: $23.07
Customer Review: Although the content of the book is excellent, you can't read about 20 percent of it on the Kindle because none of the sidebars and graphics and appendices work with the Kindle. I had to get a refund and buy the hard copy. Very disappointing for an ...
