  • I like my "boring arrow," thank you very much

    Dec 12 '00
    Pros: Cute...for about three seconds
    Cons: Slows things down, pointless

    Summary: Surfing the web used to be fun. Ah yes, back in the day, before people figured out they could make a quick tenth of a cent by having some porn site pop up when you enter or leave their sites. While it may seem unbelievable to the less experienced web ... read more

  • Invasive, Unasked, and Annoying!

    Pros: None that I can see.
    Cons: Installs itself on your computer without asking, spyware, nagware at its worst.

    Summary: I am "reviewing" this "product" because I have been assaulted by it, unasked, multiple times in the past few years. You never know when it will happen. You go to some random website and BOOM you suddenly have this weird thing installed on your computer ... read more

    Pros: "Cute" cursors??
    Cons: Spyware invades your privacy!

  • A viral infection.

    Jul 20 '01
    Pros: Well, it was a neat idea...
    Cons: ...that turned out to swamp my computer.

    Summary: It was a great idea at first. I mean, custom cursors for my webpage! People would like to see characters on their mouse cursor! Of course, it may slow loading and they'd have to install a plug-in, but it was going to be worth it. I ended up forgetting ... read more

    Pros: Unique arrows to choose from

  • The Dumbest Thing Ever

    Feb 22 '01
    Pros: Good images sometimes
    Cons: takes a while to download on slow computers, pointless

    Summary: I think that Comet Cursors is the stupidest thing. It is stupid because once you hit a page that has Comet Cursors, then it downloads it, even if u don't want it to. Also, if you have a slow computer, it can stick to the screen and you can't see some ... read more

  • This is the most pointless thing to review

    Feb 17 '01
    Pros: Fun, tons of cursors, free, easy to use
    Cons: Some stupid cursors, umm what exactly is the point?

    Summary: I got my Comet Cursor unintentionally. As do most people. When you enter a web site that uses Comet Cursor, you immediately start to download the program. Comet Cursor is basically a free program that lets you change the cursor of your mouse to ... read more

    Jan 30 '01
    Pros: Variety in computer experience
    Cons: Uses much-needed RAM

  • Why?

    Dec 28 '00
    Pros: it's pointless, so it requires little maintenance
    Cons: it's pointless

    Summary: Some people still don't realize that content is what counts on a web site, not a snazzy looks. Those people use Comet Cursor. Comet Cursor is a silly little plug in that some web sites use. It pops up and asks you if you want to install it ... read more

  • I'm Being Followed by Kevin Spacey!

    Dec 07 '00
    Pros: free, adds creativity to your desktop, fun if the Cursor Library has the picture you want
    Cons: limited selection, the website doesn't tell you in advance what they have in their cursor library--you only find out after you've installed it, they made kevin spacey into a cartoon!!

    Summary: Prologue...My One-Sided Love Affair with Kevin Spacey I am in lust with Kevin Spacey. I think there is something so suave and sexy about him. The way he moves, the way he talks...Oh boy! I get a rush seeing his face. After I watched ... read more

    Cons: Forces a program onto your PC without asking.

    Summary: I really used to love this and even spent way way too much time trying to figure out how they did it so I could make my own custom cursors to use in my web pages. There really are plenty of selections available but I still wanted something ... read more
