[AccessD] OT: Calling all women IT professionals

Can this include tools we built?

If so, here would be my list:

VB6 -->  Can do so much with this, and so quickly, awesome for quick
programs/utilities.

Virtual PC / Virtual Server  -->  Totally free platform for all sorts of
things:  Test platforms ready in a minute or two.  Trash platforms (for
surfing the dark alleys of the web) ready in a minute or two.  Ability
to run every MS operating system from one platform, and also any
combination of installed software on each.

Remote Administrator:  From Famatech.com  --> Great tool for
administrating your network.

ISFE (Information Services Front End)  -->  Custom helpdesk application.
Has a company phone list, from which I can search/see all sorts of
information about employees, and their computers (what computers they
are currently logged into, what computers they have logged into (and
very soon what computers they 'own' or are in charge of)), and from that
same interface, I can launch Remote Administrator, Computer Manager, and
Windows Explorer for their local drives.

MoveWindows  -->  Custom VB .exe, that captures all of the open windows
on your machine.  Allows you to move, resize and change the visibility
of any window on your machine. (VERY handy for multiple monitor issues
when an app gets 'lost').

Okay, over the last few weeks I've been putting together a list of
"can't 
live without" utilities and tools for an article to be published on 
TechRepublic.com.

Now, I don't want to make a political statement, but so far, there's
only 
one woman on that list! I'd like a few more, and no, I won't say
anything 
about the gender mix in the content -- it's not relevant, but I'd like a

better mix.

If you'd like to contribute, I just need a list of the tools/utilities
that 
you use all the time and would feel lost without. I'll also need a short

description of your current contribution to the IT industry (what you
do) 
and if you like, I can include contact information -- this is a great
way 
for those of you working for yourself to network a bit. I never promise 
results when I do this, but it can't hurt.

I'm staring at a deadline, so um... if you'd be quick about it too?????
:)

Oh, and any fellow who'd still like to contribute, you certainly may --

there's no limit on the number.

Please contact me privately at ssharkins at gmail.com. I think this article
has 
the potential to generate a lot of interest and discussion and should
prove 
helpful for other developers/administrators/ITwhatevers.
