pcInfo is a simple utility that displays IP Address, Subnet Mask and the MAC Address of your primary network adaptor. That is all it does.
It can be useful when running several Virtual Machines or Servers, and you need to see the network information at a glance. Putting a shortcut to the application in the startup directory on a Windows PC will ensure the application is visible whenever the computer is started. There are also ways to enable the automatic running of applications using Mac OSX and Linux to achieve the same effect.
pcInfo remembers it's position on the screen when the application is closed by writing to the Preferences.txt file. This file is stored in the same directory as the application itself.
pcInfo can be downloaded for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux from here:

Great post Steve,
I really loved your blog.
One of the first benefits of freeware, educational software, and teaching scripts online is that they are so convenient. If you are a homeschool parent, you know how limited your time is. Between creating lesson plans, teaching those lessons, field trips, experiments, chores, and work, it is often difficult to run to the bookstore or the library in order to retrieve information that will supplement the educational topics that your little ones are covering. However, with freeware, you can find what you need, when you need it most. I have even been lucky enough to stumble upon some websites that are nothing but freeware software programs. I am pretty sure that this is called a “freeware directory” or maybe a “software directory” but these websites are tops!

Thanks Stewart, I'm glad you're enjoying the blog :-)
