We just lost most of our computer equipment in the flood of our house during Huricane Ike. I put it up, but not high enough, and I could see yesterday that the water reached my hard disk drive, so it is toast. That means a new computer will be coming my way to supplement this laptop, and with it new applications.

It also means I will try some new things. One will be a new multi-media software package, since I wasn’t really happy with the various programs I had been using. Why do I need a separate MOV converter , video encoder, and audio converter? Blaze Media Pro does everything a half-dozen programs on my old computer were needed for -- conversion, ripping, editing, recording, burning, playback, and much more. It supports CD/DVD, VCD, SVCD, and DVD burning. Plus it works with every audio and video format I could possibly want. So I expect it will be finding a home on my new computer – whenever the insurance cuts the check.
