Re: [DTXpress] : Browsers, Suites & OSS, Oh My! (was Re: Bell/Bow Ride Cymbal)

I'm a convert/advocate to/for Mozilla Firebird V0.6.1. It's a lean, fast
implementation of the Mozilla Browser. It's what I use on *all* my
machines now. What sold me:

A) Firebird's DEFAULT option is to block non-solicited popup windows
(Unless I click a link that directly invokes a new window, I *never* see
popups anymore!)

B) Tabbed Browsing is addictive, once you try tabs, its hard to go back.

I only use MS Exploder for "Windows F*ck-up-fixer", er... I mean "Windows
Update" :) To get Mozilla Firebird (or full Mozilla if you need email and
news support) go here:

I also use Open Office and it's components for all business stuff on my
laptop so I don't have to spring for MS Awful^H^H^H^HOffice. :) Get it
here:

http://www.openoffice.org/

Best part, is it's all free... well, except the freedom part... *that*
needs to be defended and defending it isn't free! Directly support your
freedoms here:
