lol Rin... virtually.... still using it on this ole internet machine, but 80% of the places I visit dont support it, so I have slowly been weening myself onto IE5 (courtesy of AOL Disk, still running win95 on this ole box). When the rebuilt box gets here, will be running Xp Pro, so I doubt I will go back to NN at all actually.... ~weeps~ oh well.. times are a changin....

Wow sounds nice.

Jestah

VP, why not run Mozilla, or Phoenix (which will eventually replace the Mozilla as a standalone Browser, no mail/newsgroup components.)... ?

Oooh... 2 Gig a ram and SATA Hard Drives... Now I'm jealous.

I highly recommend Firebird (new name for Phoenix) as a default browser. I've switched over from IE and have been using it for a month or so. Yes, it's only version 0.6 and it still has little bugs here and there, but it's a much better experience than I've ever had with IE.

Very cool VP.

Welcome to the 21st Century !!

DB: 21st century sucks (puter rocks tho!!)
Jestah: it is
Drac: will investigate, and dont be,,, yummy ram, but pricey
OzPha: will do, and thanks

VP: remind me again of just where in Detroit you live?

*grin* sweet computer. Congrats, and it's about frickin' time you upgraded your browser

Use it in good health Vog.

Firebird is fantastic, except it has many problems with the Flash installation.

Jestah

Jestah: Problems with flash installation? Exactly what problems are you referring to? I don't recall having a hard time installing flash...

$1626.92? I wish I could build a system for that much...mine cost me over $3000.
