Thomas Lee demonstrates how the .NET framework is responsible for reclaiming your system's vital resources
Another reader asked what I was using for some of my examples - was it cmd.exe or Monad? In developing these PC Pro articles, I'm only using Monad, naturally! I say naturally, since Monad is based on .NET and enables you to dig down into all its class libraries to find useful admin-related things. This aspect of Monad is worthy of a future column too. If you have any comments on this column or suggestions for future columns, please email me at Thomas.Lee@qa.com and visit my blog at tfl09.blogspot.com
