Fun! Multiple simultaneous challenges!

Pros: The best part about this game is that there are several things going on at once. You're playing 'HangMan' at the top of the screen (building/guessing a phrase). You're playing 'BookWorm' at the bottom of the screen (building words). You're playing 'Scrabble' rules for points (on the left of the screen). You're participating in a FlipWords community with public high scores and user-extensibility. Too much fun!

Cons: (1) Eventually you may recognize some of the 'HangMan' answers right away. Even though there should be an nigh infinite number of phrases, I've found that they will repeat sooner than I'd hope.

(2) The sound effects are limited and repeat too frequently. Enough gameplay and you'll be hearing these little sounds when you try to sleep at night. Ding-ding-ding. Ding.

Suspicious and entirely non-functional.

I briefly tested this application to evaluate it for use at my place of business. The machine where "VetoMail" was installed was Windows 2000, and I used 6 different email accounts for completeness. Cosmetically appealing, the application does not seem to do anything at all. I block several senders, sent as those senders, and all email was received, regardless of its VetoMail status. Basic functionality -- such as using the 'Edit' or 'Delete' command on records -- are entirely non-functional except in "appearance." (i.e. You can 'Delete' a record, but any new record added is overwritten by the so-called deleted record. There is no true delete. You can 'Edit' a record, but changed information is discarded when the record is submitted.) Most disturbing is an examination of VetoMail's website. Upon exhaustive search, it contains absolutely zero names, zero addresses, zero phone numbers, zero legitimate validation points whatsoever. You do not know who they are or where they are. They are non-entities. Even their domain name is registered outside the United States. VETOMAIL PTY LTD LEVEL 5 WATERFRONT PLACE 1 EAGLE ST BRISBANE, QLD 4000 AU I find this product and this company to be highly suspicious and potentially fraudulent.
