"As you browse the Internet, you can drag links that might be of interest to you directly into the MicroSurfer window. Then while you're perusing the page you're on, MicroSurfer will be busy loading the pages to come. When you're ready to move on, click the link you dragged into MicroSurfer and-voila!-it'll display right away. I call that
'link in a wink!' "

"It eliminates the need to continually hit the back button in your browser. Simply drag links from any web page or document into the MicroSurfer window and let MicroSurfer download them in the background. It pre-caches the links that you collect when your modem is normally idle so that they display in your browser immediately upon demand. You can organize a series of related links into a "tour" and save them for later viewing in slide-show format."

"We particularly like the extensive use of drag-and-drop functionality in this tool. You can create hierarchical branches and drag links--including graphic links, bookmarked items, and URL address bar links--into, out of, and within the MicroSurfer window."

"It works in the background when you are online, pre-caching web pages so that when you click on them they almost instantly appear. It doesn't seem to slow down your surfing while it is gaining the pre-cached pages, but it sure makes getting to them faster. And it is also customizable in that you can add your own favorite sites to it."

"You've been there. You hit on a page loaded with links
you want to visit. One link leads to another...and before long the only way to return to that cool page with all the links is to click
Back, Back, Back...MicroSurfer solves that navigation problem...and at the same time speeds surfing to tsunami levels...Not only does it
(eliminate) all the backing-out nonsense, but...MicroSurfer has been preloading the (pages so) when you finally get around to looking at
them, they pop up at warp speed."

" How
often do you come upon a site that contains lots of
intriguing links, but you don't have time to click each
one that interests you? MicroSurfer gives you an
alternative... We were astounded at how much this speeded
up the link retrieval process, and we don't plan on going
back to the traditional click, wait, and read method.
