When you download an ISO image of a CD or DVD, you have a few options. One option is to burn the image to a CD or DVD. Another is to use a virtual drive, which presents the ISO image as a drive, like E:, on Windows. Microsoft’s previous download for virtual drives was very primative.

I know daddy’s password! It’s asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, ….

I’ve been using Password XP as my password manager. I bought it because it is capable of working on multiple computer (in a shared database) and its backup option was fast & simple. At the time I bought it, I thought I might use the option to install on a flash disk but I’ve never felt the need.

It recently upgraded. It adds support for FireFox and hot keys to insert passwords. So far, so good.

I stopped using MaxiVista a few weeks after I bought it because I really wanted a virtual KVM, not virtual multi monitor. Since then, I’ve been using Synergy, a free virtual KVM program. It works fine for long periods of time, but occasionally stops working, for reasons that I haven’t cared to explore. I just stopped & restarted the servers or rebooted. Otherwise, it’s been great.

MaxiVista 2.0 adds virtual KVM support, so I figured that I should buy at the upgrade price. I haven’t tried it yet, but I expect it’ll work fine. Then I’ll have the option to go KVM or multi-monitor.
