Actually the magicJack GUI (in small mode) takes up about 1/9th of the screen if you run a decent high-res resolution on a wide screen display. Alternatively, in that same mode it takes up less than a quarter of the screen if you run 1024x768 resolution. Certainly, running the GUI at a high res on your 15inch CRT probably doesn't look good. 15inch CRT's were all the rave back in the 80's. Alas, the GUI is just a "cosmetic" aspect. Who cares what the hell it looks like or the interface - as long as it functions you'll have to find some other hobby on what to complain about next. I own 6 magicJacks; they have never failed me. I can see how frustrated someone might be if they don't have moderate fault isolation skills with software/pc/networks, zero knowledge of POTS, and understanding of USB voltage & loss from poor extension cables from the 99Cent Store or the manufacturer. This is a clever device and business model for the guys running the show. FierceVoIP mentioned once that this little adapter may be responsible for up to 23% of landline loss (referring to POTS) in 2008 alone. Technically, I'm a compentitor to them but I've got to admit they've done very well. Hats off to taking flight when land lovers think men can't fly.
