Reply: There was no real magic. Just a lot of brainstorming and some luck. I knew what I was going to talk about. So I figured it fit my purpose and theme. And that was pretty much it.

A. Ease of use: 4/5 – It’s pretty straight to the point. Just right-click a word while shift / ctrl / alt to quickly lookup anything in Wiktionary and or Wikipedia, without the need to open any new tabs.

B. Security – Absolutely No Impact On FireFox Security Or PC Security

C. Usefulness: 5/5 – At times it can be a a little slow. If you have a lot of tabs opened. But it provides a very quick reference tool. With pout having to keep going back to the main wiki page.

D. FireFox Slowdown: Very Little

E. Computer Slow Down: Very Little

F. Type Of User I Would Recommend To Use This Add-on: Beginners to Moderate Skilled FireFox user

Who Is Eligible To Participate: Canadian Residence Only

Type of Award Or Payment: Points / Sweepstakes/ E- Gift Cards + Many Many more prize/reward options

Points or Cash Normally Earned Per Survey: 0 – 1,000 Points

(You need 1,000 points to claim a $10 value prize or reward)

Sign-Up Time: Pretty Long

How Many Survey Invitations Should You Expect Per Week: 1 – 50

How Long Does It Take To Collect A Reward Or Cash Out: Often less then 1 month for $10 CAD. But as of late it seems a lot longer as some users may find it taking up to 2 full months to get your 1,000 points ($10 CAD)

Do They Spam You: No

Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 – This survey site once again takes a hit with regards to the “Time frame it takes to received promised points from past completed surveys.” I now get roughly 5 to 50 surveys invites a month and with thous 5 – 50 surveys invites. I generally will make the needed 1,000 points.

So I can often redeem my points for a Chapters/Indigo  e- gift cards (Basically a code you can enter and redeem your $10 CAD voucher via the Chapters/Indigo online store.) The main reason I choose that reward is because I don’t have to wait long. In fact you will generally get the e-gift card serial number with in something like  5 – 30  minutes max. So you are off to the races instead of waiting for a prize such as a $10 CAD Paypal payout or other such rewards.

———————-

Some Extra Important Site Information: I have noticed it is now taking way over a month from the time you have done the survey to get credited with your points (Meaning usable to cash out or claim prize with. But you will notice on your balance sheet the credit is there normally right after you have completed the survey) Which is almost double the time it use to take. Less then even a 9 months back.

Till The Next Blog Update,

Remy “Se7en”

A. Ease Of Use: 4/5 – A very easy and straight forward add-on. But there are still some settings that can get a bit tedious to newer users.

B. Security: Not Applicable To This Add-on

C. Usefulness: 5/5 – Both my life as a member (CSW) and my life on the net would be a lot harder without this add-on. If you ever wondered how to say something in another language. Or even if you just ran into a site and or blog that is not in your own language.

D. FireFox Slowdown: A slight hiccup of a few seconds. When you first select the option.

E. Computer Slow Down: Same as above

F. Type Of User I Would Recommend To Use This Add-on: Any level of Firefox user

Danny’s Reply: Actually both Remy and myself like http://www.godaddy.com/. They have some really great prices and I have not really heard anything negative about them. So that would be my pick.

Remy’s Reply: Danny is right I agree Go Danny for sure. But regardless you should always shop around you never know you may get a much better price and save some of that hard earned cash.

I just got this question about 7 times today. So I figured I would answer said question. So here is the answer.

Q: Is AVG Free Anti-Virus 2012 Compatible With Windows 98 ?

A: No, AVG Free Anti-Virus 2012 it is not compatible with Windows 98. I maybe mistaken but I believe at this point there is no main stream anti-virus options that will go as far back as Windows 98. Unless you have a really old version of AVG, AVIRA or AVAST. Which I would not advise. In any case. As you would not be protected from current threats as well as at least 5 years of back log virus definitions you would have missed. You may get way with it if you don’t use the Internet at all. But even that you are treading on very dangerous grounds.

Till The  Next Q+A,
