A transparent trashcan program, allowing one to “un-erase”.
This is a category killer, there was nothing else which came close to it’s functionality.

A remote-control tool that can be used without firewall configuration. Port scanner and Trace Route, drag&drop files, get system passwords, Power-down or Wake-Up remote PCs.
By far the most impressive piece of software I’ve ever used. It’s tiny and does the impossible. But it made enemies.

2016-12-25 – Blizzard still hasn’t abandoned it yet.

I really thought Guild Wars had it all when I learned of it. I went out and found all of the resources i could, and noted all the specs and rumours and whatnot. I ended up becoming a beta tester for it and everything.
Sadly, during gameplay I was very severely disappointed and walked away. I went back to try it a second time and what I considered to be very serious and obvious issues were not and apparently would not be addressed. This topic only remains for amusement’s sake, as a testament to my ability to waste huge amounts of time for nothing.
- Note that I am bound by a beta tester’s NDA, so I cannot discuss the various things which went on during my time as a tester.
