Snails Caveat


Snails Caveat

Postby jongjungbu » Jan 14, 2003 @ 10:22pm

Great game, by the way. But, just as with RealPlayer which I despise so much just for its installation program. I've managed to get past that with Snails b/c of the limited software options in that category for PPC.

Anyway, my one big caveat with Snails is the forced opening of its "webpage" in my web browser after installation. This is still not as bad as RealPlayer making its website my browser's Homepage. Now that really steams me. But it is still highly undesired by myself. Anything that opens up ANOTHER window of a different purpose than the original is a big peeve of mine. (Such as webpage popups, Gator Installation Windows popping up, RealPlayer, Advertisements that suddenly appear overtop the website yer trying to read, Programs changing the webpage you're currently looking at, etc). Yeah, it's a big enough peeve to me that I should bother to make this post about it. Don't know if it's been said before, but I'll say it now. Get rid of it. 8)

Ya, most programs have it as an option?

[-] "Open PDAmill's Snails' website for updates and additional features?"
[.] "Read the game manual"
[.] "Restart Windows after completion"

etc.
