BEN’S WORKSHOP

By Ben Myers

Let’s see how to get the most out of a software updater, and whether it is worthwhile to use one.

My New Year’s article Let your PC start the new year right! created activity in the AskWoody forum because the original article cited SUMo Software Updater, which had been withdrawn from the market in October 2023.

Today, we updated the New Year’s article to reflect the market withdrawal and remove my praise. We are grateful for the many Plus members who caught this oversight and swiftly let us know.

Read the full story in our Plus Newsletter (21.02.0, 2024-01-08).
