>BTW, going by your recommendation for Firefox I'll certainly give it a download. OTOH, I assume you have used IE 7, with tabbed browsing and all, and are not comparing the prev version with Firefox. I can't imagine IE is THAT primitive in comparison.

>Know what you mean about the bad old days of single-thread computers, no multi-tasking, etc. I cringe just when I think of not having a taskbar, in pre-95/98, which manifests itself when FP starts to "own" the taskbar, every so often, and has me minimising my other tasks so I can get back to FP, usw.

Been using FireFox at home for a long time now. Much better IMO. Lots of cool add-ons, one of them even allows you to instantiate IE inside a FireFox tab for those places that work better in IE. You set them in a file with one click and they will always open with IE insife FF. I use IE at work and generally miss FF.
