Belarc Advisor - a tip from Buzz
Catching up on Buzz Bruggeman’s blog tonight and found this great tip he posted recently:
What happens when your computer blows up? Ahh…question 1, what in the world was I running when it did. Quick answer, run Belarc advisor and put the file on the Gmail account. That when if I have to reinstall things rather than looking around for some piece of paper with the list, I just go to backup E-Mail files on Gmail and whammo the list is in hand.
I just gave Belarc Advisor a try and it’s terrific! Lists not only all of the software you are running, but all of the licenses associated with them!
Sure - the mafia probably now has copies of all of the information but, then again, they probably had it already, so… no point getting too paranoid about it…

I am enjoying your podcasts. I have a lot of interest in the topic, but 70 percent of the content is useless to me, because I am a Mac user. Please consider some mac content.

You’re totally right - we’re completely void of tips for Mac and Linux users! Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll put up a post asking for contributors! But you might also want to check out The Mac User Show on The Podcast Network - macuser.thepodcastnetwork.com
