Good to know. Maybe I'll upgrade sooner.

 

Microsoft is wierd. They always like using things for task they were not designed for. Internet explorer is still based off of Mosiac. Mosiac was big just after pordigy and AOL came out.

 

Have you tried Thunderbird? It's made by the same people who made Firefox. I haven't tried it myself, but it might be worth a look. I believe it adds an "email" button to Firefox so you can check your email. Here's a link to Thunderbird: http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/

I'm glad to hear that you really like FF. I've been using it for half a year now and I cannot live without the tabs! This browser is very customizable, there are many tweaks and extensions that will speed up surfing and allows you to customize it to your desire. For example, I have Statusbar Clock (adds a clock to the browser), Adblock (blocks any image, useful for blocking banner ads), IE View (just in case I have to view a page in IE), and Image Zoom (allows me to increase/decrease the size of images). There are many other tweaks available.

Enjoy!

 

Here is another freebie to help with spam and even telemarketers;

For those who might not know, when you are filling out information for freebies, deals, in stores, or anywhere else you don't want to give your home phone number, use Jconnect or eVoice.

Basically they give you a free phone number that you can give out, and it never rings, it just takes whoever is calling to voicemail. You then receive the voicemail by email. You can also receive faxes to that number, and get them via email as well. The only catch is that they require you to download their program to open the messages, but it's no big deal.

I sometimes use my old phone number but at least with these, you can listen to the messages if your interested. You get random area codes, if ya'll do it, we can trade our numbers/codes.
