On my L110 w/ 64MB ram and upgraded 20GB HD, I've found that for stability and security against the recent IE/Outlook attacks, Mozilla 1.4 (mozilla.org) is sufficiently fast and useable across websites to be a good, replacement for IE & Outlook. For those times when you want faster web browsing over a modem line, I would suggest also installing Opera with graphics turned off (G key), and preferably also Javascript, plugins, popup windows etc. Opera tends to be the quickest I've found for browsing the text information on websites. Mozilla alone has been sufficient to replace IE for all purposes at work and home computers except for Windows Updates (which can be done manually with network admin downloads of the patches). Thankfully, this means 0 -zero- vunerabilities opening up emails, browsing websites, etc. due to the completely different design of Mozilla (or opera) vs. IE. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
