This freeware programme is excellent for getting information about your
computer:
Everest Home Edition (freeware)
http://www.lavalys.hu/index.php
Tip: To copy select Report, Quick Report, Plain Text, highlight required
text, right click and select copy. However, whilst this is fine for
posting small amounts of information into newsgroup messages longer
reports will irritate other newsgroup subscribers.
In Everest place the cursor on Software select Report, Quick Report,
Plain Text, click on Send in Email and change the entry in the To box to
my address, which is given below removing dump from the address.
