I never get notified that one has been installed, but when I go to the update page there are always updates that I don't have. Never took me 5+ hours to download something tho - if the winzip download hasn't completed by now then why don't you just go to the winzip website and see if it is available for free there?Re: Gripe #2: I hate it when the price of a product is not fairly prominently displayed on the sales page, but I ABSOLUTELY hate it when you have to click the Buy Now button to find out the price. And, except for the roller coaster scripts or the lock-in-your-price scripts, if the price isn't on the sales page then it's probably an overpriced product. To turn around the old snob saying "If you have to ask the price, then you can't afford it", I say "If you have to search for the price, then it isn't worth it".As for Gaida's comment about Internet Explorer, I could have sworn I updated mine to IE7, but I keep getting error messages on downloads saying they only work on IE6 or above, so I guess I'll go check on that now.The things we internet users have to put up with!Good luck to all,Douglas Hey Susan,

I often click through just to check it out and don't buy. I'm sure they're hoping that you've gone that far...you'll buy it.My gripe for today... nearly tearing my hair out with IE... the tabs aren't working... downloads messing up... re Microsoft downloads... better check with my son... we also have auto downloads but after your comment we'd better have another look. Definitely nothing more annoying when you could be doing something productive... maybe you could send them a bill for your wasted time!! Ha! Hi Susan,

The web is like the wild west. The lawless have their way with impunity. About the only thing people can do to fight back is become a victim once and try to avoid these traps in the future. If you ever come up with a way to start a protest or prevention type of movement count me in. With great empathy, Ralph Stone I thought I was the only one that had strong feelings about
these things.
