Tim Dorr Veteran Posted October 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2002 never used it myself. I like to give things that "manual" touch (like compiling mozilla myself rather than using the binary :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k22 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 they probably realized that they can make money off of this feature now that they have you using it on a regular basis. With the new e-mail service, they probably will sell your e-mail address and reap some financial benefit for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxBoy Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Never liked it. It was a good idea, but the way it was implemented, it didn't fly! I won't be missing it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flakingbiscuit Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I used to use it, but sometimes it gave me a incorrect update or two. Now I might have to go in search of another one... Oh well :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
