It's a personal thing. I moved away from the browser a long time ago
and uninstalled it. I just didn't feel like reinstalling it just for
the purpse of verifying the images that way.
I began my computer addiction early with MS Dos so commandline has a
certain kind of pull on me. The push they made me go through toward
Win95 made me move over to unix instead, and later to linux (although
I still sticked to Win95 for games like red alert :)).

Don't like point and click. I will prefer a commandline interface over
GUI's anytime I can! :)
