So your opinion is about the "look" of the interface .
I thought you were also talking about the technical details .
On looks I think that Gnot and BS are about the same .

BTW LW doesn't keep the list after you close .
Second though : Being a proud cable modem owner , why would you want to close it ?
Just set it connections down to 3 or 4 , put javaw.exe in low CPU priority , put it in the system tray and let it run silently .
