FREE comprehensive PC analysis
When you get a new computer you can pretty much name all the applications you have installed, know what operating system and version that is running and your hardware configurations. However, if you’re like me, your computer starts to look like your grandfathers refrigerator. It’s loaded with things I’ve never seen and a lot of it should go!
That’s where Belarc Advisor comes in. Belarc is a FREE software program that will analyze whether of not your antivirus software is up to date, Windows patches are current and a complete computer profile summary!
This summary includes items like:
• Operating system
• Processor
• List of drives
• Memory installed (and which RAM slots are being used)
• Monitor and printer information
• Software installed (and what version it is!)
• And a lot more techie information that someone would appreciate more than I understand
How cool is this? I was quickly able to see that only 1 of 4 memory slots was being used, saw some old programs that needed to go like outdated potato salad, and knew what versions of everything else I had installed. I was happy to see two large green check marks showing me that my virus protection and Microsoft security updates were up-to-date. Click here for sample results.

Google Maps
Google Maps
Google Maps has been a wonderful tool for years. I used it all the time before I bought my Garmin to get me around.
Google maps Street View allows you to view 360 degree images of many cities. You can navigate down streets taking a virtual drive seeing buildings, cars etc. It's just like being there!
The 360 degree camera rides on a car and takes photos as it travels down the street. So, of course, this is going to take Google some time to include all cities. Right now, Kansas city is the closest city to Lincoln that has street view.

Some people are nervous about their homes, license plates on their cars and other personal items being available for the world to see.
To see a funny slant on that issue, take a look at the following movie about this new Google Street View. :-)
