Ive been running it for a couple days, and it works rather nicely.

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.

Hmm ... interesting. a nslookup shows the following:

izalco:dnichols 0:57 nslookup www.myie2.com
Server: popocat.d-and-d.com
Address: 204.91.85.9

Name: www10.iwi.com.sg
Address: 203.116.15.66
Aliases: www.myie2.com

Which says that they are located in Singapore.

Ive been running it for a couple days, and it works rather nicely.


I wandered through the web site, and found absolutely *nothing*
which says which OS it works under, by which I assume that it only works
under Windows -- at least so far. :-)

That "mouse gestures" feature looks nice.

Enjoy,
DoN.

I looked at it - no uninstall included - no go.

Even if IE is put out by the Evil Empire, it seems to work
OK for me. I have Pop-Up Stopper, which handles most of my
"issues."

It runs that quickly, too, as if it goes out to Singapore to
fetch each request. S L O W . I don't see the benefits.

For those of you who uninstall it, you'll have to separately uninstall
(search out and nuke) the Robowhatzit.

Often discussed and praised in alt.comp.freeware and listed as
"Pricelessware" (freeware that has been put through the wringer and
passed).

http://www.pricelessware.org/2003/PL2003SHELL.htm#A504

It's actually an IE "skin", mods to the IE engine, making it what IE
should have been to start with.

Well if it bothers you that much, then get a life?

My POINT is that the damned thing does not work for me. I in fact
treat it with suspicion.

Wish me luck elsewhere.

I'm being quoted and replied to, yet there isn't any of my post
included. Is this the puzzle of the week, a Buddhist Koan, or just
clumsy attributing?

I find this a little aggressive. It's "free". It's slow. It sends info
and does nothing. My firewal says "give it free reign?" (as you would

Slow???? Its one of the fasted browsers Ive used to date..and Ive used
them all. No blinky lights when Im not doing anything, everything was
seamless and I still can use IE if I want, plus it transerfed my IE book
marks and cookies perfectly.

Ditto that.

Since RoboForm didn't uninstall with the other program and didn't
go through a normal install, I had to find it in the Program Files
under "Siber" (?, from memory) and use the "unsafe" x-iconed thingy
to remove it. It then opened Netscape and asked me why I was
uninstalling it.

I gave it a test after nuking NN's cache and NN took half the time
to load a test site. Too many unnecessary bells and whistles, the
same bloat IE suffers from. I long for the good old days when
NN 4.09 ruled the Earth... My favorite feature of all browsers
is the bookmark file, which 4.09 had down PAT! IE would suck
MUCH less if it did bookmarks like that.

I'm with you. Only use InternetExplosion when I have no choice. I'm using
4.79, but heck, I was quite happy with 3.xx. IE has *always* sucked. The
*developers* make something glitter, sparkle, ring, bounce, or blink, and it
is heralded as the latest *upgrade*. Bull****.
