Download/HomepageThis is a nice program that came in my TMilk
update from Tucows.
Probably plentymany other folks with one phone line rushed over
to download it and the phone lines are jammed however. I wondered
how many new enterprises like this one will collapse under the
weight of their own success? You write a useful program, find a
way to make it pay by turning it into adware [freeware where the
ads are updated when you go online], then when your phone lines
are overwhelmed due to the usefulness of the product, users just
fade away. I hope they do get enough lines fast enough so this
does not happen. When you get to their site, you find a very
friendly place that makes reading about Pagoo easy. Everything is
well marked with a friendly typeface here and there, press
release, download site, FAQ and all the other necessities.
Downloading is quick as is installation. After you finish this
part a sign comes up to register online or go to the company's
site and register. I recommend the latter. The former took me to
one of the advertisers. You then get an ID and a password and
give all your friends your user ID. When they want you to get off
your computer if you only have one line, they just dial in, type
your # and send you a voice message [of course you have a sound
card, right?] or written note. Some sounds are generated when a
message comes in and there you are. For me, there are several
problems though. As I mentioned in other reviews, WebTurbo for
instance, this takes about 4% of my system resources to leave
near the clock, virus program and system wizard in the lower
right hand of my screen. I check every internet program like this
because my browser slows or becomes unstable with too many
resources being used. If you also have ICQ, WebTurbo and other
programs running sometime, minimize all screens and check your
system resources. I'll bet yours are running low too and open you
up to more browser crashes. Its something to think about unless
you can afford 128MB of RAM. Another problem with Pagoo is that
there are other programs that page you and do other things. ICQ
is my favorite example here. Phone paging is a nice idea and I
hope Pagoo succeeds, gets lots of lines and takes off, but
remember, those system resources may limit the number of programs
you can use at one time.
Though I would have to say
