If Adobe made telephone books, it would take 20 minutes to find a number. First, you'd have to register to use the phonebook. Then you'd have to log in each time you wanted a number. Of course there would be a 30 sec. splash screen everywhere. If you had a problem, you'd have to go to a website, log in again and post your question on a forum. Get the idea? I'll assume this will be very nice software once you figure out all the hoops you have to jump through. Adobe needs to lighten up! I'm sure there's something similar in features that just works without all the hassle. I'm still looking.

Move away from the download button!

Resist the temptation to even try this software. I can only assume it has a high rating simply based on the claimed feature set. It does have a lot of features, but you can't actually use most of them. This is the MOST illogically designed and dysfunctional graphic software I've ever used. I was able to master Photoshop to a mid-level degree and that's complicated, this is just bad design and execution. If you work in pixel sizes, it's simply unusable. Creating a 500x500px canvas will initially appear as 475x475px at 100dpi. If you change the magnification (zoom) factor in the window, the canvas changes to 775x775px at 100dpi! You can't get the correct canvas size. If you try to import your own images, they are fuzzy at any size. Very simply, this software is junk. I made the mistake of buying it with a 50% rebate. It's no wonder they're giving a rebate! Free would be too much. Here's a logo idea: LDS with a big red slash through it.

Very good alternative to ie & ie overlays
Mozilla Firefox version 1.0 PR

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I kept hearing good things about Firefox and all the security concerns related to IE pushed me to give it a try. As it turned out, it really is a viable option - superior in many ways. I was using Maxthon (MyIE2) but stability issues were a problem. Plus, all the IE concerns are still there. Firefox has been rock-solid and noticeably faster the Maxthon. The only real negative for some people may be the need to install extensions to get worthwhile features. This may turn off some novices. (But for those who bother, there are some really useful extensions.) Also, a few unnecessary MS specific plugins are not compatible. All in all, this is very good software especially for being "pre-release". This looks like my new browser.

This is a very simple and effective piece of FREEWARE. It works without any negative system impacts. Disregard the earlier post about "causing problems with downloading"...it does not. That person has other issues.
