Memories On TV supports customizable text captions, full-screen backgrounds, unlimited video clips, and includes a dedicated audio-editor that allows for basic manipulation of audio files.

So don't treat your next family vacation, wedding, or sporting event photos to one of those boring online photo albums. Let Memories On TV help you preserve your precious moments in style.

BackupForAll

It can record data to a variety of different mediums, and even schedule email confirmations to let you know exactly when the backup is complete.

You've got auto insurance, right? Why wait for a catastrophe to pick up some data insurance.

GetRight

We've all been there. You're three-and-a-half hours into a download, the bar is hovering at 98%... and your computer freezes. Now you have to restart the download from scratch, and even worse, wait yet another day to finally start watching that Sopranos season you missed a few years ago.

GetRight is a downloading management program that ensures you'll never lose a download again. But that's only the beginning. It supports multi-gigabyte file sizes and allows you to queue, prioritize, and schedule downloads. Specialized tools allow you to scan an entire website and easily extract the desired images and files. Best of all, if a download is ended prematurely, GetRight can pick up where it left off, ensuring you won't waste any time re-downloading.
