Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded
This might be too "Inside Geek" for my core readership (Hi, Mom!), but I thought I'd post it anyway. This is a fine browser. It's fast, crisp and it looks good. it has all the features you need (pop up blocking, tabbed browsing, built in google, standards compliant) and nothing you don't need (email, marketing ties, chat).
I'm on a fast DSL line, and I even notice a speed difference on loading pages. It also seems to be better at loading the text first, then the pictures... great to figure out you have the wrong page before some huge pic file loads up.
I suggest you all give it a try. It's a quick download, less than 6 megs, and there is almost no learning curve.... unless you want to use some of the more powerful features. For normal browsing, it works exactly like any other one.
And it's not like you have to give up your old one. I often have both of them going at one time.

I'll have to check this out, now that VBS is behind us and I actually have time to sit down! But I may need an "inhouse tech" to help me download it---may have to call you home!
Love,
Mom
I'll be glad to help, but it ain't hard. Kind of knew you visited.. someone from your ISP went to my site this weekend.
Take care... BTW, my cell won't be working for a week. I owe them money... very little, but more than I can pay till Friday. Well, I could, but it's a cell vs. food kind of thing. Food wins.
