Hi,
One of my pet peeves is tracking down some free program or file, and then finding that it's only available from some site that requires registration.
It's bad enough when it's some site like FilePlanet, which I end up at often enough that maybe I should register. But, aside from privacy issues, often it's some site that I probably won't revisit for a year or two, if ever, and probably won't remember my user name and/or password by the time I come back. :P
So I was really intrigued when tonight I found a link to
http://www.bugmenot.com/
Apparently, I'm not the only one frustrated by this "Registration required" cr@p.
From their FAQ:
"How many sites do you have accounts for?"
"102004"
:w00t:
It could be a bit of a pain to use, in that you'd always have to have their URL handy, in one form or other, and then go there, etc., but still, overall, I think it might be worth it. Of course, there should be ways to short-cut some of this.
So, aside from spreading the word, I was just wondering if anyone has used this service, and can give some feedback based on experience?
The RoboForm program they plug sounds interesting, too. Again, has anyone used this?
Regards,
Dako-ta
P. S. I also found a link for a free tea sample - but, it's only good for delivery in USA, sorry:
