Hello HolyGeek,

It can do just changing your email address occasionaly (to twart spammers) browsing from the web and using web based e-mail is adeqaute for most people or in terms of self . . . - oversensivity is not a problem if what comes in (being open) does not get stuck on its passage through Most people (strange but true) have an emotional need to hold on to their pain better to feel something than nothing (according to that theory) >being totally trasparent ... I think this is a good policy and what comes in goes out and through Not even that much to watch . . . >invisible ... LOL the best form of invisibility is wearing garish clothing . . . maybe that is just a Lobsterian trait . . . >blocking no one's view? > >hmmmmmm .... > >may have to upgrade. >-ts- keep us informed :-) >Hi Everyone - > >Somewhere here Lobster recommended FireFox browser (i think it was Lob who suggested >it). > >I installed it a while ago and all i can say is Wow!!!! Fascinating. I did not recommend it and personally I do not use it as much as opera. I had both on the system with IE and ended up using Opera mostly >I decided to give it a try because of the firewall / denial of service / security >concerns that had started to become an issue this week, and i expected inprovements >in those areas. > >What i did NOT expect was the PHENOMENAL improvement in browser loading speed. >Absolutely remarkable... sooooo much faster that Internet Explorer 6.x. > >Even opening HotMail - an MS site - was vastly faster with FireFox. > >Thanks for the recommendation, Lobster. This one is a clear winner. Good news. I think there is room for preferences. I remember when Netscape (mozilla) and IE (Internet Explorer) where battling it out I preferred Netscape for its speed but most people preferred IE for its ease of use. So who recommended FireFox? - I remember they were really in to it - so they have a convert . . . I would recommend the other Fox - Foxmail but maybe you will prefer the excellent Thunderbird? Hey - I also came across I-scribe - very small nice and suitable for use on a USB keyring and perhaps even more suitable for USB is JBmail http://jbmail.pc-tools.net/ >found a wiki cookbook: >http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook > >and soups joyce! >http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Soups >maybe you have already seen this ... > >-ts- Kewl - some of those great soup jpg's would look good there ...
