I really thought it was as described & download for the reasons it stated. But it wouldn’t let you run even 1 applications it is a joke in all sense of the word. It wanted money for not doing what it was described to do& would not do. Stop the false information so we don’t waste our time & have to be negative to you.

For example, I tried to use curl get, but I get an error message saying charset UTF-8 is unsupported, which is ridiculous.
