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

Works for me.

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.

It is obvious why Mac's sales have grown 30%, and are getting more first
time buyers everyday. I read somewhere that 9000 people a day are
leaving MS to Mac. It reminds me of that song "Alice's Restaurant".

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

You know what I hate most about Firefox and IE7?

Tabbed browsing.

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

I didn't like it either when it arrived with their respective browser
updates. But now, I've become used to it and find it helpful.

You *are* aware that in Firefox you can disable the tabbed browsing? I
don't know about IE7.

Tabbed browsing is what turned me on to FF in the first place at a time when
IE hadn't gotten around to it.

Just curious, what don't you like about the tab feature?

I don't know - seems like over kill. You can always open another
window if you need more than one - hell, two or three if necessary.

I had somebody tell me one time that the advantage of tabs was that
she could open as many as 14 tabs at once and flip back and forth.

My answer was that she needed serious psychiatric help. :)

From an ergonomic standpoint, it's no better than opening up another
window, so what's the point?

Personally I feel tabs are less clutter than multiple windows. But you know
the saying, opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one.

I guess that's why they make Fords, Chevys, Toyotas, etc. :-)

Everybody but Adam

I would hate to see an off topic discussion of something as divisive
as evolution get started here, but you have to admit that even Adam
might have had one in something other than a fundamentalist creation
scenario.
