What’s more, it also owns the ability of ripping different DVDs (including encrypted DVDs) to Sony PSP, Apple iPhone, iPod, iTouch, Apple TV, Zune and Mobile phones. Learn more about the update log.

Guy’s Daydreams

Over the last 4 years Paul DeBrino has led the way in sharing with me network utilities and computer gadgets that he has found useful.  Also numerous other readers have chipped in and all their research has provided me with a fascinated glimpse of what is out there on the internet.  Most of these handy little programs are free, have trialware, or cost very little.

All these computer tools convince me that there are more opportunities than ever for entrepreneurs to develop utilities, gadgets, or whatever name you give these gismos.  Dave Kendrick comes to mind with his simple but effective CopyRite.

Daydreams lead me to wonder about creating my own ‘Dragon’s Den’ and help people by investing my own money in their nascent products for a share of any future profits.  On other days I am more unfocussed and just think of helping new developers by simply recommending their products in my ezine.

CopyRiteCopyRite

CopyRite XP 2.0 by DaveSoft © is a powerful new tool which sits on top of Microsoft RoboCopy. CopyRite adds sophistication to file copy, backup or synchronization.

CopyRite is a feature-rich system that David Kendrick has designed to perform all Microsoft RoboCopy functions.  The key feature is an easy-to-use interface instead of that tricky command-line syntax.
