Here are some of the computer articles and software reviews that Peschel has written over the years.

Peschel was surprised to see that his computer reviews at InfoWorld were recently taken off-line. He asked InfoWorld's permission to reproduce his reviews on this site, but didn't get a response. So he has uploaded his security and encryption reviews. They are in PDF format.

Notice all that hair? At the time, Peschel liked to say, "I'm a computer geek: this is my ponytail."
