This little utility certainly do seem to meet the "as seen on TV" maximum productivity label. I heard a main menu review of Jamal's File Dir utility and was amazed at what this thing was able to do--beat the pants off of the ginsu knives. The features seemed endless--in comparison to the romco food processor and the abdominizer. I am not using it because the many features made me feel as though I would probably spend lots of time learning how to use it. ...now that I think of it, maybe I should look into it again as I'm currently having to look through many folders and subfolders searching endlessly for files???

Sure, it's a bit of advertizing <grin>, but it's also intended as a true statement. I said the applications are "designed for maximum productivity" by screen reader users,. Whether the applications succeed in meeting that goal is certainly debatable, but that was my intent.
