        Thank you!! I tried to breed some in a city pool here but they (she = Pam )drained it before I could get there. It's green now though so I'm sure those little krill could make it, somehow. Maybe I'll go visit.

                    Why would you download a browser when (if you have Windoze) you get a perfectly good one for free? I'm convinced that the 15 odd % of users now sucked into FireFox are all techies since not one normal person I know could be bothered to download a browser when they already have one: most don't even know what a 'browser' is: they all think Google is the internet anyway. The PC is hard enough for most normies as it is without expecting users to think for themselves. Duh!

                      There's a growing anti-firefox sentiment out there and many sites are actively blocking it according to the cp newsletter so I would go with something a little more sane and less wild eyed crazy.

                        I'm pretty sure the percentage is higher than 15. In fact, I'd say it's about double that. Are you trying to imply that "techies" are not "normal" :)

                                        I ran into horrendous stability problems about a week ago. It had been gradually getting worse and worse. Bad, non-killable hangs for example. many have said that extensions are the chief culprit. Rather unfortunate as it's extensions that are the "killer application." Anyway, I discovered that two major problems are the download manager (I deleted all the downloads from it an now keep it to a manageable size) and Firebug (I've disabled it). Since then it's been much more stable. Still uses a lot of memory - up to 200k but does seem to periodically give it back, as it's claimed to do. But I'd never observed that before.

                                          Firefox is related to Netscape and now Google, so, umm, well, ummm, what should I download instead? If that's the church and that's the state I'm effed.

                                          There is one browser out there probably not related to anyone and suitable for everyone. Lynx[^] You will love it.
