What are you doing with IE?!
Go try FireFox, you won't regret it! DL the extension called "Adblock" and you'll never see another popup, banner ad, or any of those little green "in text" bleeder ads again!!! :drinkers:

is Firefox really that good?? The only other browser I've ever used was Netscape, so I'm fairly limited in my knowledge of web browsers. I might go ahead and try it anyway, I like experimentation, heheh.

YEAH, give it a shot. I'll send you my Adblock list of ads to block so you'll have a good start on ditching those frickin ads that consume the internet. And you get the "tabbed" browsing style and you can download all kinds of cool new skins and other extensions. It's pretty nice.
And the best part is, it even loads web pages too!!!! :rolleyes:
hahaha, jk ;)

downloaded Firefox last night, and let me say, you're right, Firefox is great. It has very low overheard, so my resources are more freed up, and I need all I can get on this slow system, lol. Not to mention it looks cool with this WindowBlind skin I have loaded right now. LOL, you "tried" to make a funny, heheheh :P ; you guys were right, IE is crap, lol, and it also eats bandwidth, which I didn't know until I started using Firefox and noticed how my pages are loading at the speed they're supposed to....good find!!!!!
