This toolbar puts the world on your browser. A hundred plus search engines, what's going on in your town, radio stations, 80+ games, a calendar, local task shortcuts (my favorite is turning the screen saver on) plus more features than you can imagine. If that isn't enough, there is a feature to make as many of your own buttons as you want - to go to websites, or even better, launch any program on your computer. However, it may be overwhelming to some at first because the settings panel can be cumbersome. But, after you get it set up just the way you want it (extremely customizable) - you will wonder how you got by without it. I've come to depend on it.

A software like this one would be wonderful if all the bugs had been taken out, but with so many of these, time had not been taken to test it before its release. I liked the interface and the fact that I could access most of my internet programs from the toolbar itself. After a few days of enjoying it, it crashed and crashed my browser each time I opened it. So there are some bugs in it that have yet to be ironed out. While I wouldnt use it for myself, doesnt mean that it wont work for everyone, so I am going to recommend giving it a try. This is one of those programs that may be a work in progress, and if so, sometime in the future it may be much better, at which time I will have to have it back.
