Yeah That! (p.s. we really need a yeah that smilie )

I will often download a hack and test it out locally. If I like the working version (not just the concept) then I will install it on my live board and then click install. In the early days I use to click install whenever I downloaded a hack. Now I have hundreds of hacks listed as installed, but I only use about 20 of them.

For me a hack rating system would be more interesting than the number of installs. I am sure some people would look at a hack, think it is very well done and give it a good rating, but may not necessarily want to install it.
