An offer I couldn’t refuse

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The fine folks who make The Ultimate Troubleshooter offered me a free copy of the software to try and use and to tell you all about. Being a sucker for free software, well, what could I say? I installed in last night so I haven’t used it nearly enough to get anything resembling a real impression, but I’m sure you’ll hear more about it in the coming days.

One thing I will say, if nothing else it’s a nice tool for getting immediate information to help identify startup programs, running tasks, and services, and the option to send them info on tasks or services that they don’t already have information on promises to only make that part of it better.

Now as to whether it lives up to it’s name or not, well I have my doubts. I’ve always believed that you need some human intuition to be the “ultimate” troubleshooter, but I’ll settle for a pretty good troubleshooter. 🙂

    As a bit of a follow up to last night’s Gnomedex comments, let me say this. I do think it’s the attendees that make a conference great.

    The child abuse site seems to be stuck in the middle of a dispute between the hosting company and the reseller who originally donated the space to me. Actually all of the sites he manages are stuck in the same fight, so it’s not just me. I talked to him last night and basically told…

    Given the date, and also considering my promise to not make myself part of the remembrances, I still feel the need to say something. No, not about Sept. 11, or anything like that, because those thoughts are private, and personal. But to take a moment, as we all should this day, to appreciate all the…

    Did we really need another IM service? Of all the many things Google could build with all the IPO money they’ve gotten recently is this really one of the things that should be high on the list? Are they in cahoots with the makers of Trillian, who’s free version won’t work with the Jabber protocol,…

    Yup, back at work today, migraines are all gone! Had to wade through some emails this morning, but nothing that was pressing, or even that important. A request for a little change in the telephone system programming was about the only thing that needed tending to right away, and that was a fairly easy change….

    Hi Mike – do you have friends at ATW ? After 4 emails to support and sales I have had no reply, not even to the last (desperate)request for a refund since they refuse to help me update after payment. I have also recommended this product and I am now regretting it.

  3. Sorry, it’s been awhile since I’ve had any contact with them, so all I could do is point you to the same contact info that’s on their site. In fact, the PC I had it installed on died and I haven’t felt the need to use it.
