In addition to Mark and Bryce’s speaking abilities, they have written some of the best utilities for Administrators and Developers (maybe ever!).

Hyperbole intended. One of my favorite, everyday use, Administrator must-have utilities is SysInternals’ BgInfo.

You can download BgInfo from here (read the EULA) to see for yourself what it does to your computer(s).
