Handy tool? or another gimmick?

Written: Dec 26 '99
Pros:Lot's of "cool" tools
Cons:Who the Heck is gonna use them????

I have downloaded all of the Web Accessories for IE 5 but still have trouble using them all.

- Internet Explorer Wallpaper - This one I use the most. The download comes with a couple extra backgrounds for you to put at the top of your browser (up by the stop, back, and refresh buttons.) It's ok but unless your into interior design or something and everything has to be the right color scheme, I don't recommend it for the average user.

- Internet Explorer 5 Web Accessories - This gives you eight tools to use when browsing a web site. I think it's pretty moronic because who in their right mind would want to increase the size of the graphics on the web page that they are looking at? Seems pretty stupid to me. The only tool in this package that I might even remotely use is the highlight tool which lets you select text and it highlights it a neon color. But unless your writing an essay or reading a book, I don't suggest it.

- Microsoft Web Developer Accessories - I thought for sure that I was going to be using this one the most, considering that my job is web design and I am frequently looking at the code of web pages to see how they work. The view partial source tool let's you select a part of the page and view the source code just for that portion of the page. I probably should be using it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Power Tweaks Web Accessories - This tool package gives you a new online/offline button to enhance your browsing, but unless you have a laptop WHO REALLY CARES???? It also gives you the ability to copy link addresses to the clipboard so you can copy them into other applications. Just to show you how important it is, I didn't even know that it came with this package!

Unless your looking for some more "tools" to "enhance" you internet experience, I don't recommend wasting the time to download it.
