hey man thanks the disk itself i dont really charge for if someone wants one they just need to pay shipping as for what the disk is its a diagnostic/utility DVD thats comes with 2 linux OS's (for people that dont have an os) multiple utilities for HDD analysis CPU analysis system mobo ram video all kinds of stuff stress testers etc...and thats just the bootable part!!!! when in windows if you pop in the disk like a vidoe game an autorun sequence starts giving you options to install benchmark programs or veiw the contents of the disk etc..if you veiw the contents of the disk it brings you to the main folder that holds a bunch of other utilities ranging from games to anti virus software..to benchmarks..to diagnostic programs..to drivers

dude that's just a godly dvd/utility, i couldn't imagine the work to get all that to work i wouldn't know where to start. but yes it's going to be probly a few weeks but i'll contact you in a few weeks or so about getting a dvd. that utility is just crazy. i gotta say i thk you could make a killing off this if you actually tried to mass produce it or something for say 15 bucks a dvd. but nice man nice

i suppose if the damand is high enough at $15 a dvd i probably would i mean i buy the dvd's at discount ink i suppose is cheap enough i would probably make quite a profit...however for people who dont have $15 thats one less person i can help but every one can afford free.

you may wait for 4.0 however perhaps this is something youd be intrested in

K PM me, and we will work out the details of what you want.

[KieranD]

for all it is your only paying him for postage the cost of the disk and what $1 or $2 for the work he did

you should do an upgrade service for usb buyers, so they can send it back and youll put the newer version on it
