Was a wonderful app and worked quite well...then Google decided to make it ChromeOS only and ruined any chance of my using it again...

I would really like to have the ability to save my undernet login and have it log me into the undernet upon connect. Still CIRC is a great app that does exactly what we all wanted for our Chromebooks.
