Title: Free Today Only - Partitioning Software
Post by: Rodders on February 05, 2010, 15:23
Just a quick heads-up to let you all know that GiveawayOfTheDay.com (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/) is giving away EASEUS Partition Master 5.0.1 Professional Edition, for TODAY ONLY.  Get it while it's hot.   :)

A word to the wise:  Although the software is guaranteed malware-free, do be careful what boxes you tick if you don't need stuff like free toolbars from Yahoo, etc., installed alongside the main deal.

Thanks, Rod. It's worth pointing out, perhaps, that most GOTD stuff can only be installed on the day of the giveaway, so don't get dependent on the software unless you're prepared to buy it if you ever need to reinstall it.

That's generally the rule, Rik.  Although there are certain worthwhile exceptions which can be reinstalled once registered, provided you keep the original D/L package.  Mostly, the software is in a GAOTD 'wrapper' which can only be unwrapped on the day of the offer.

Shame really, but I guess that's the only way the site is feasible.

Yup, it's OK, as long as you bear in mind the caveats.

Clive told me that the caveats arent too bad as he usually gets some cream from the doctor that clears them up quite quickly  ;D
