A Toolbar With Power

I love horoscopes. I used to love them even when I was skeptical of their overall validity, but after paying some attention to the more involved ones dealing with the actual signs and what they stood for I came to believe there's a lot to a horoscope. I fit the 'Gemini' bill perfectly.

Sometimes they're just fun to read. Whether you believe in their accuracy or not you can get lots of fun out of a daily 'insight' to your life. I had to laugh at one I got a few months ago. It was rather long, but at the end it said something to the affect of 'a makeover can make one feel rejuvinated and beautiful--oh boy it's going to take one heck of a makeover for you'. Okay, that was such an insult, but I am fairly sure they weren't talking beauty wise (although that would have been accurate enough--just mean) rather the fact that I was pretty stressed at the time and feeling rejuvinated was going to take a heap of work--right enough. Still, it was funny and I didn't stop laughing for several minutes.

You can even get a horoscope right on your browser's toolbar. This really cool toolbar even has a reference link right at your fingertips. I like that. Talk about easy research. Of course there's the standard search box, but how about having 'related search terms' appear in a panel while you browse a site? That's an EXCELLENT research tool. There could be a term that hadn't crossed your mind that will yield all kinds of great information that you would miss without that handy feature.

I don't generally like extra toolbars as they cut down on visible space in my browser window, but this is a powerful toolbar that is a must have for writers, students, and has the added horoscope bonus to boot!
