1GB of VRAM... that will be costly. ;)

Just doesn’t make sense.  :roll:&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
That&#039;s my thinking, too. The fact that Netscape just took a dive should be a pretty good indication that the browser market is pretty full right now.

Count me in! ;) It&#039;s probably free only after a mail-in rebate as well, huh?

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t enjoy a little eye-candy?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I&#039;m a sucker when it comes to eye candy, but they have added it in areas that I hardly use. I almost never use the browser&#039;s history feature, and it seems like it would take awhile to navigate your bookmarks with that interface. The eye candy that I really enjoy is the stuff that also makes you more productive, and I&#039;m not sure that this really would.</description>

To get in you would need to sign your life away for 2-year with their ISP and they would make it so no other browser would work when this is installed. Then there is that $200 charge to opt-out early.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Ha ha..it&#039;s funny because it&#039;s true. ;)

It does look really fun. If Pogo was stable I would try it. It&#039;s always nice to see a company being innovative in an area that has the potential to impact millions of users. Let&#039;s be honest, who doesn&#039;t enjoy a little eye-candy?</description>

		<description>I saw the review on Ars, and thought to myself &quot;Why??&quot;  We already have IE7/8Beta, FF 2.x/3.0Beta5, Flock 1.1, Opera 9.x, Safari 3.x, and then some others like K-Meleon, Maxton, and Avant.  So do we really need a browser from AT&amp;T, especially when it takes up so much resources, more than some PC games!  Just doesn&#039;t make sense.  :roll:</description>

		<description>My experience with &quot;minimum system requirements&quot; is that the system will operate with the specified hardware, but don&#039;t expect it to operate very well - in this case, &quot;wanna get nostalgic and take a trip back to dial-up internet?&quot;  Based on their minimum requirements, I would expect that to get the browser to function normally, you would want a 2GHz dual core CPU, 4GB RAM, and 1GB VRAM.  And don&#039;t forget 512MB HDD space to install it.  :mrgreen:</description>
