Geez, what a great idea, circuit breakers. Down 200 more points in 30 minutes, great. Now watch, at the open everyone expecting an up move due to circuit breakers, right? Well, I see a bunch of margin related sellingf and then more panic selling as the early up move never materializes. I hope I am wrong. Anyway, TLindt...the PC World review synopsis: From the November 1997 Issue of PC World TuneUp Keeps PCs in Shape By Lincoln Spector UTILITY Having trouble keeping your software packages and hardware drivers up-to-date? Quarterdeck's TuneUp utility does the work for you: It inventories the applications and drivers installed on your PC, then checks various Web sites and gives you a list of possible updates. TuneUp also downloads the ones you choose and helps with installation. CyberMedia's Oil Change does the same job, but TuneUp adds modest virus protection and a year's free access to the very useful TuneUp Web site. The preproduction version I tested provided a pretty good selection of possible software updates, each with a short and sometimes useful description. (Oil Change gives a bit more detail--typically three or four paragraphs for each program.) TuneUp also lists additional free and shareware programs you might want, but some of them are fairly obscure. Unfortunately, downloading more than one program at a time isn't easy. To select multiple updates, you hold down <Ctrl> as you click options--one <Ctrl>-less click deselects everything. Also, TuneUp's bare-bones antivirus tool does not operate in the background. Buying TuneUp gives you a one-year subscription to tuneup.com, a technical Web site filled with FAQs, bug alerts, and tips on maintaining your PC. Accessing this useful sitenormally costs $4.95 per month, so the subscription alone makes TuneUp well worth its $30 street price.
