Having taken a week off after my lengthy Idimager review, I decided to jump back on the wagon and get right back to reviewing products. I randomly chose a product that I’ve been looking at for awhile now… so, please join me in welcoming my newest review… for Extensis Portfolio 8.51.

Extensis provides the following description on their website:
