SpeedyPC,

I just report it, and I said it is under review. When going to certain sites you hear the concert, when going to other sites there is silence.
Just a news item that someone is making these kinds of add-ons. All thus jumping on the band-wagon.
So this is not an advise to install it...

Hi SpeedyPC,

Why don't you start a career as a comic strip writer. You are so talented, it would be a great success,

Nah my brain has been filled with to much Structural Engineering and I don't have room for a comic strip writer.
