Fast and hassel free

Pros: Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail ect - they all work seemlessly with this program - you can custom your email addresses and the number of them to your hearts content. This is fast, uses little CPU and you can set the timer to check your emails whenever you want. However....

Cons: Will read the letter in plain text only. Though it does support hyperlinks, the actual page is as plain as can be. But this is not an email client in the same vein as Incredimail or Outlook Express - which is the beauty of it. I use this program to inform me when I receive email. Recommended for those who have alot of addresses they need to check in a hurry.

What happened...

Pros: let me just say I was a huge fan of bearshare (before I discovered Limewire Pro) and installed this to see what was new and if the program had improved over previous versions. I was not impressed...

Cons: Okay maybe this is bearshare's way of admitting that the program comes bundled with SAVENOW adware and actually insists you need to install this aswell (in the free version anyway) Well the pretty splash screen informing you of this doesn't make it any more appealing - Who the hell wants to be bothered with POPUPS when you are searching the net! let alone this adware/tracker watching your every move. Upon installation SAVENOW immediatly tries to access the net (even before you get the chance to open Bearshare!) Those with firewalls can block it - as I did - but just the fact it is present on my computer made me think twice about keeping Bearshare.

Now comes the actual program.

1. Slow to connect (if at all)

2. Searches are slower than ever.

3. Searches are sometimes QUEUED!

I uninstalled this ten mintues later, including the adware/tracker liking Limewire Pro even more...

WOW

Pros: Yet another gem from Faststone. Not only does it carry out the normal funtions of an image viewer, but now it plays MP3's to boot!

Slick and doesn't demand to be the fault image viewer like so many others - but this program deserves to be your default. Wonderful to use plus it's FREE

Cons: None - it deserves the praise.
