Pros: - does a great job of unifying and consolidating Netscape and Explorer bookmarks. - you have the option of customizing it, eg. you can run it as a floating window or as a section of the screen. - It can zip up files with it's compression routine. Cons: - You have to give up some more desktop real estate - Some of the icons are too big, if they were smaller there would be less scrolling - It's not about to knock WinZip out of the park. - It does some quirky rearranging of the desktop icons at times.
