POWELL RIVER, British Columbia, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Tugboat Enterprises Ltd. is celebrating the receipt of the Tucows Editor's Choice award for Lifeboat Data Rescue. This award comes in addition to being listed as a "Must Have Application" by Tucows in December 2005.

"We are extremely proud of this award," CEO Judi Tyabji Wilson said. "Tucows is well respected and highly considered for its independent reviews of software. Tugboat Enterprises prides itself in the development of software that is highly reliable and easy for non-technical people to use. It's great to have this recognized by such a prestigious company."

Lifeboat Data Rescue was first introduced to the market in May of 2005 and has proven itself to be a valuable asset to laptop, notebook and PC users.

"These two distinguished awards will help give our product increased credibility in the marketplace," Said Jonathan Lyster, Chief Technology Officer. "The greatest hurdle that software developers have is overcoming the cynicism that exists amongst potential buyers. There are so many programs that don't do what they claim to do. It is critical to have validation from an independent authority such as Tucows."

TUCOWS Must Have Applications - Lifeboat by Dr. File Finder December 22, 2005

Lifeboat saved me hours of work.... The Lifeboat Data Rescue System is brilliantly simple... Lifeboat can save your files even if the operating system has failed! I haven't seen another program that can make that claim... Lifeboat, by Tugboat Enterprises, Ltd., is in my opinion a program that should be included with every computer... Because you never know what will trigger the crash... Lifeboat ... (has) become what I consider to be a true must have application!

If you don't buy the program now, at least bookmark this page in case you need Lifeboat in the future. The builders of the Titanic said it was unsinkable and didn't install enough lifeboats. They were wrong and it cost the passengers everything. If you have a crash, make sure you have a LifeBoat! http://editorial.tucows.com/blog/CurrentContentArticles/_archives/2005/1... 452981.html
