Geek Software of the Week: Recuva

Leave a comment

From the maker’s of one of my favorite utilities, CCleaner, we now have Recuva!

Recuva, Deleted File Restore

“Recuva (pronounced ‘recover’) is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!”

It is still in Beta, but as with CCleaner, it is FREEWARE! Enjoy!

Commodore is Back… More or Less.

Yep… you can actually by a Commodore PC again. Would you want to? Well, here’s the deal:

“The Commodore XX includes an Intel Core2 Extreme quad-core QX6700 microprocessor, an ASUS P5N32-E nForce 680i SLI motherboard, 4 Gbytes of Corsair memory, a pair of Nvidia 8800 GTX SLI graphics cards, and three hard drives: two 150GB 10,000 RPM SATA drives arranged in a frowned-upon RAID 0 configuration, and a 7,200-RPM 500-Gbyte RAID 1 drive.”

Pretty nice!

“The GX includes a Intel Q6600 quad-core processor, 2 Gbytes of memory, and a single Nvidia 8800GTX 320-Mbyte graphics card. The GS includes a Core Duo E6600 processor, 2 Gbytes of memory, and an Nvidia 8800 GTS card,along with a single 320-Gbyte hard drive. The Commodore G includes an Intel Core2 Duo E6320, 2 Gbytes of memory, and an Nvidia 7900 GS graphics card.”

OK… I can dig that. But maybe the best part… for ol’ timers that used to love their Commodore’s is that all of the systems come preloaded with a Commodore64 emulator and 50 “classic” games. Dewd! Gotta love that! (If you are a geezer, anyway!)
