I knew this program about 1 or 2 days after it first came out but it slipped my mind. Downloaded and installed, it really takes up a small amount of memory (11 - 13MB) but it's a bit hungry for CPU usage (always 50%+ on my system when the program is running). This is, overall, not a problem because the programs I have are quite lightweight. I'm happy to do this to help with the research and I've already spread it to my msn friends.

If you have time and you're an English freak (as in good at English), go here www.freerice.com , play the quiz and donate rice to the Food Program headed by the UN. Yes, all you do is play the vocabulary quiz. For each word you get right, you donate 20 grains of rice. How does it work? The advertisements you see while playing are the source of money.
