What an unhelpful, immature and petulant remark. You should be ashamed
of yourself. Go away and try to re-calibrate your life so that you can
use the word "horrible" to perhaps describe war, famine and poverty.
I use Icecat every day for work and for personally. It works great and
I'm thankful for the efforts put into making it available.
