Alcohol 52 and why you need it.

Alcohol 52 is a piece of software designed to protect your CD,s and DVD,s. It does this first by creating a ghost DVD drive on your computer. Second it takes your CD or DVD and creates an image of that disk, an image that you can keep in your files and when you want to actually use that DVD or CD you simply mount it on the ghost drive. The image will work just like the original disk did and now you no longer need to carry that disk. Now when I first looked at Alcohol 52 I thought to myself what would I ever use this for, but as time went on I found more than a few uses for it and now I'm not so sure I would ever have a computer without it. I use it to load my movies into my laptop, my games into my laptop, even technical manuals from work. The disk can have protection built into it, and even require activation keys but as you are only creating an image of the disk it doesn't matter, the image will act just as the disk would and you can keep your entire library of disks DVD,s CD,s at home where they're safe.

Another plus to this piece of software is that any game or movie you would play will play without actually spinning up your CD drive, which will keep your battery life at a maximum for as long as possible.
Alcohol 52 is actually the free version of this software, the paid for version is called Alcohol 120, check them out , read about what they can do and then try it for a while, you may just find it as useful as i do.
