Great concept, but I had to uninstall it to use SI.
I have been in software for over 20 years, so I try before I buy. The WEB site is slick, the download and install went smoothly but the program has BUGS! Try it for a couple of hours, especially on this site and see what I mean. You end up going to RESPOND when you want to go to the NEXT message, and it then removed ALL of my bookmarks. One good point - the uninstall seemed to work and I am back on line but without my bookmarks which I now have to replace. I was using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 under Windows 95 on a Pentium 166 with 32 meg RAM and 1.7 Gig HDD. Nothing wrong with the system - as good as you can get using Windows 95 - which is nothing to write home about in itself.

The most common problem with small start up software companies, is that they are forced to rush the product to market before they can test it properly and they invariably have "undocumented features" or BUGS to the uninitiated. MS take years to get their bugs out, but they have deep pockets and no competition.
