Me too, but more recent memories than yours I'm sure. 8 years ago I did a lot of file management. 80% of my job was moving and renaming files & folders.

Finally I found DOPUS and it was a godsend. Tabs of all my common folders, batch rename, dual windows, etc. My job became much easier and I have free time to learn other aspects of the company.

DOPUS 60 day test drive was about to expire, and I had my 6 month review with my boss (the owner) and HR. They ask if there is anything that would make my job easier: DOPUS and a 2nd monitor.

I received a big lecture on downloading software (I get it), $2 raise, 2nd monitor, but no DOPUS. I was heartbroken. I loved it so much that I would have paid for it with my own money for the company's benefit. It was that good.

Another 6 months and I was promoted out of data management. DOPUS would have still been useful, but not to the same extent as that entry level position.
