Pocketec's Pockey DataStor is a portable USB 2.0 hard disk with 20GB, 30GB, or 40GB storage capacities. One reader from Brooklyn, New York, said that as an independent IT consultant, he uses the Pockey DataStor to transport files to and from his clients' sites. The reader said that when he's working on a big contract, he leaves his notebook PC at the client's office, then uses the Pockey DataStor to move files between the notebook PC and his office PC. The reader said, "It has proven to be the best IT investment I've ever made!"
You can also use the Pockey DataStor to carry thousands of digital photos or MP3 audio files. The portable hard disk installs on Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Me OSs. Pricing is $299.95 for the 20GB model.
Eliminate Junk Email

Windows & .NET Magazine reader Bob Miller of Edina, Minnesota, loves Nick Bolton's MailWasher, shareware email software that eliminates spam. Miller said that MailWasher eliminated the junk mail that used to clog up his Inbox and dramatically reduced the viruses that come into his PC. "This software represents one of the nicest improvements in my computing experience since the advent of email," Miller said.
To make senders remove you from their lists, the software bounces unwanted email messages, and your email address appears invalid to senders. The software then automatically puts the senders' details on a blacklist so that you can automatically delete future messages.
The pricing structure of MailWasher is unique because you pay what you think the software is worth. The software currently lets you monitor an unlimited number of email accounts and supports Web-based accounts such as MSN Hotmail and AOL.
