  1. Great article, I wrote about this recently— the software is impossibly handy. I wish they would make a Windows Vista version (if possible) or maybe even port it over to OSX.

    Thank You so much. I have been trying to find an alternative link for downloading the software but everyone seems to link to the tredosoft web page which isn’t loading.

    Thank You!! Also cool Wordpress theme.

    This idea seems to be working fine and the main worry in this is that the amount of resources all these browsers will occupy.
