Hmmm...thanks. Guess it's time to download an upgrade.

Currently I use Internet Explorer for a couple of reasons. One I'm really used to it. It's what we have at work and what originally came on my computer at home. Although I am starting to look around at some other options like Firefox, maybe I'll try that out this weekend.

I agree with Safari for Mac. I use that on my OSX laptop. Since my desktop is older and still running OS9, I use IE there.

Well all you Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape users will not be able to view my webpage, and if you by chance are lucky enough to view my webpage, you can't view it properly. That's why I can't stand any of those Mozilla based browsers. I learned are awful the Mozilla program was, after my Netscape acted up and I had to use Explorer. The good thing about Opera is, is that it does allow you to view webpages like mine, the way it was meant to be seen, but it's safe and secure and it has tabbed browsing as well. Why anyone would use a browser that does not allow you to see a lot of cool things on the net, is beyond me, and ALL Mozilla based browsers are like that, and that includes Firefox.

Just downloaded Opera 8 today, and installed it, and it's lovely so far. Slid in on top of 7.54, without a whimper, and goes like stink, even with a virus scan going on in the background. So far, me like.
