Winamp can play quite a few files nothing else can play on my computer.

holy fucking shit, i thought the wikipedia toolbar made looking up stuff on wikipedia even less work than it already is. 

this is like, three clicks, and im there.

ANALOGY TIME

going to wikipedia and typing in what you want to know it like say breathing

the toolbar is like having a respirator to breathe for you

that addon is like taking away the need to breathe air to live (like say species 8471 on star trek)
