I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.

Me too, but I rarely use it. I use Firefox. I like it.

Is Internet Explorer 7 matching Windows Vista in the level of
disappointment delivered to end users?
Did your *source* have any reviews of the Chevy Silverado?

Oh joy...the class idiot has promoted himself to computer maven. Glad I
have the troll where he belongs, in the dumpster with the rest of the
crap.




Reggie said he uses FireFox but complains about IE7. He earlier said his OS
is WinXP but complains about VISTA.

Is there a pattern here?



You have to ask? Reggie has nothing on topic to discuss here, so he goes
off on these idiotic tangents, knowing that there always is an
undercurrent of "hatred" for MS and its wares. He's a classic troll.

Hell, I use Firefox *and* IE7. There are some sites that Firefox simply
will not resolve properly, even if you set up FF with an IE emulation
add-on. I happen to like FF better.

I have IE7, but it keeps freezing up and then shutting down. I think it
has to do with security settings and my anti-virus, there are also some
web sites that just will not open in IE7 or won't allow me to log on,
yet when I use go to Firefox it opens right up.

I think you need to take some Computer 101 classes Reggie.
I did find this bit of info you might find interesting:

Why some sites may not work with IE7

So stop using IE7 and stop whining.



I am not whining, I am discussing a topic that is pertinent to those who
use the internet. Now whining would be if I made a post and said "I
don't know if I can take anymore, my boat broke because I didn't
maintain it, my basement flooded because I didn't keep up with my sump
pump and on and on". That is whining, I just made a comment about a
problem MS is having with their new OS and browser.

Do you see the difference?

Being the helpful people they are, MS offers the following advice if IE7
hangs up or freezes.
So switch back to IE6 or FF if you do not know how to use IE7 properly.

Like the old joke............a guy visits a doctor complaining that his
arm hurts when he bends it. The doctor looks at him and says.........so
don't bend it anymore.
I, and many other people, have found it much easier to just use Firefox.

So go back to using it and stop whining.




But if he does that, he'll have one less subject about which to troll.

You could spend the rest of your life following those guidelines. I think
BillyG is just being protective. He knows which sites are bad, and
therefore locks up to prevent you from going there. Any site, for example,
from which you might download something to make using your computer easier
or more productive is automatically in his 'lock up' list.

My advice is - use Internet Explorer *only* for retrieving information from
MS or for downloading MS products.

For all else, Firefox is the way to go. Except for news reading, in which
case the old Forte' Agent (1.91) is the way to go.

But, JimH thinks I've got him killfiled, so he *must* be an expert.

No, why do you ask?

He needs something to pull the 32' Grady White he's going to buy.

Obviously more of so than you or your buddy Reggie.

Did you ever figure out what a smart charger is John or do you need more
information and more pictures?



Now Herring is giving computer advice?
Maybe he'll recommend battery chargers next.

You know what I hate most about Firefox and IE7?

Tabbed browsing.

I have actually gotten used to the tabs and prefer them.

That thread of his on battery chargers was hilarious!




An absolute classic, and I only saw parts of it second and third hand.
What's next for Herring? Does Wal Mart still hire old fa*ts like him as
greeters?
