  1. From what is shown, you don’t HAVE to install the Google toolbar with the regular version. Just uncheck the little box where it shows, is in no way required or locked in. I undestand you must consider the intelligence factor of all the readers, but this is so obvious that even IQ 30 should “get” it.

  2. ^^ You forgot people who just click on Next, Next and Next buttons in setup wizards. I’m one of them.
