"I _like_ this software. It sure beats wrestling the browser to the right web site so you can type your query!" - Paterick

"Small, fast, and elegant--this search program works great on my Sprint/Treo 650. I now will search the net, where fequently in the past I found searches too time consuming. The programmer, Rob, is very responsive to suggestions, so expect increasing value for your purchase(s) of his software. Highly recommended."- Alan Barker
