Which "it" do you mean? There are "its" and there are "its."

I have used Proxomitron for about three years on a Windows ME system,
and I grew very fond of it (Proxo, I mean -- that "it").

Proxo was especially effective at stopping those annoying banners that
blink, leap, vibrate, pulsate, and just won't stop driving us crazy.
With all the many switches (not all well-explained), it's easy to get
carried away and indeed change a setting that will degrade performance.
So, it's a program to use with restraint.

It was very nicely designed. It's a pity that the programmer is no
longer with us (I forgot his name, sorry).
