The Adventures of AlisterComputeron

I recently upgraded my Moto Q from WinMo 6 to 6.1.  The upgrade process wiped out all my installed apps – no big deal, as I was warned of this prior to the installation, and I can easily reinstall my apps.

The first app I reinstalled was USB Modem by Mobile-Stream that lets me use my Q as a high-speed-ish modem for Internet access when wi-fi is not available (or not available for free).  Unfortunately, that app doesn’t seem to work WinMo 6.1, and there doesn’t seem to be an upgrade available.

I am currently testing PdaNet from June Fabrics as a replacement for USB Modem.  It’s working great on my Windows Vista notebook and my Windows XP Dell Mini.  I haven’t tried to make it work on my MacBook, yet.

The next app I installed was Evernote.  I was out shopping the day other before I had a chance to reinstall Evernote, and you just don’t realize how important your key apps and your data are until you really need them.

What about you?  What’s the first app that gets reinstalled when you do a reinstall or new install of an OS?
