How much patience do you have?

Spedia is a very interesting program with some noticeable flaws. Unfortunately, it's flaws keep it from more than mediocre. You are given one point a minute with unlimited earning potential. The SpediaBar is customizable, and it even looks nice.
There are many perks to using Spedia. A pop-up window appears when you go to an affiliate site and allows you to enter a sweepstakes. You get bonuses for winning games, signing up for programs, and, of course, surfing the web. The site gives you several pages of very useful statistics such as the month's, day's, and year's accumulation of points. The account information is very detailed and straightforward.
Those are the good things. Sadly, the bad parts of this program are just maddening. For one, you have to actively change pages ONCE EVERY MINUTE. This is one of the worst concepts I have ever see in a "Get Paid to Surf the Web" company. I once surfed for three hours, only to come out with 70 SpediaPoints.
Another bad thing about Spedia is the very short mouse movement intervals. Contrary to what the people at Spedia may think, we don't move our mice every ten seconds to go to a new webpage. Sometimes, I actually like to READ information on the Internet!
Finally, on a minor note, you have to be using your browser to get paid. Most other companies allow the bar to act as a stand-alone utility. But this might be considered reasonable.
