yes, it did. the software was designed to speed up navigation using dial-up connections, but it only managed the browser cache and did not check for the most recent version of a page when it was downloading it. therefore, it was only useful with sites you repeatedly visited, because these sites were stored in the cache and... zap! instant rendering. but it didn't work for sites like hotmail (or any webmail) and for using internet banking -- I always had to disable the program in order to have access to those sites. a real pain in the ***. I used it for almost a month... And I read somewhere that its latest versions had spyware...

Once you finish switching poly over to branching threads format, this won't happen anymore.

True, because everyone will have left and the server will easily cope with the load then.

This truly isn't a troll.

BUT... this has 'a +1 machine' and, consequentially, a 'PCR bait' written all over it.
