You're right about Belarc Advisor but Everest is much better:
This freeware programme is excellent for getting information about your
computer:

Shenan would not have complained if Toon Army had been using Everest.

Tip. To circumvent copy / pasting problems in Everest select Report,
Quick Report, Plain Text, select the parts you want and then Copy /
Paste away.
