Cool Tools

Welcome to Applied Tech's "Cool Tools to make your life easier" series.  We dedicate this project to sharing with others two important Applied Tech core values:  1) The concept of "paying it forward" because it is the right thing to do; and 2) sharing useful, timely "tidbits" of knowledge with other people because continued learning throughout life is fun.

Each month, our entire team collaborates to present more cool tools and techie tips that we think our clients would want to know about.  Be sure to let us know if you have any questions, or ideas for other cool topics you'd like to know more about.

Ever wonder what's eating up all the hard disk space on your computer? Then you should know about WinDirStat, a disk usage statistics viewer that works with all current variants of Microsoft Windows. This utility analyzes your hard disk, then presents an informative visual display of your hard drive usage so that you can then more easily decide where you can save space.

Not only do the editors at CNET give WinDirStat a 5-star review, our own technicians use it, too.

PCMag.com reviewed this Cool Tool, and concluded, "Mint.com's usability, up-to-date look, and smart blend of personal finance tools make it an obvious recommendation for people who want a fast tour through their spending, budget, and investments.  The fact that it's free seals the deal for this valuable service and contributes to its winning our Editor's choice."

If you're concerned about your finances (and who isn't), you really ought to try Mint.com.  You've got nothing to lose, and a lot of insight to gain. 

Frustrated that finding information on your servers is so difficult?  You're not alone.  The average US-based knowledge worker performs an average of 20 searches per day for information.  This translates to between 15% and 30% of work time (that's 6 to 12 hours per week!) spent looking for information they need just to get their jobs done.  (Source:  IDC)

Working effectively isn't easy in a vacuum. Getting people together to share information, share ideas, and share work can really make a difference when you need to get things done. But what if all the people you need are not close at hand?

With your computer, an Internet connection, and Microsoft SharedView, the people you need can be as close as your keyboard. And unlike better-known meeting services (such as Web-Ex and GoToMeeting, which cost upwards of $49 per month or more), SharedView doesn't cost a dime.
