I was assimilated by the borg after aol bought netscape.

[anonymez]

i switched from IE as soon as i heard of 'tabbed browsing', which was some time ago

i just noticed, switching from tab to tab is much faster with 1.5

[Chewy]

bill will end up buying mozilla if he hasn't started already

nevermind he'll copy it

IE 7

Waiting for tabbed IE browsing - hair already turned grey. Waiting for it to fall out!

beta 2 pushed back to early next year
huge influx to firefox makes more inviting target

[anonymez]

blu are you using firefox? i probably won't be using IE7 unless it has an amazing revolutionary new feature that i absolutely must have.

what i've always wondered is why neither browser has a decent download manager...

[blutach]

IE6 Tried FF - wasn't that I didn't like - guess I was just comfy with IE. Plus you can't get fully away from IE, you need it for Window$ updates or something.

there are times when i have to use IE too, only 2 websites, one being asus.com & the other cyberlink.com (i only have to visit it maybe once every few years though, if i see any decent changes in their decoder ). they may have been fixed now though.

i never touch windows updates unless they're service packs or unless its another one of those 'blaster worms'. i don't take microsoft's use of the word 'critical!!' seriously anymore

I have been disconnected several times in the middle of a download
with this durn wireless setup at one of my stations during the middle of a download, recently I have noticed they resume as soon as I start them over.
From the point it was interupted. IE6 and all non critical patches.

i've been using the download manager 'getright' for many years now

i've been using the download manager 'getright' for many years now

Haven't needed it in a year, on the fast dsl(1.5Mb) 150KB/s, most downloads
never get a chance to be interupted(after I trashed the wireless antennas).
My 1 gig portable drive carries the large downloads home to the crappy
13Kbps dsl lite. Getright was the best of many I tried over the last
5-6 years.

[anonymez]

i download very large files at my uni (very very fast), it easily more than quadruples the speed. i also have a 1GB usb that i use to bring stuff home

i use getright at home (dialup ) cause its easier to manage downloads

[Chewy]

Dance buddy of mine runs the switching station at locotelco,
their roadmap is 3 then 8 Mbit DSL(video)

My usb drive does 6 MB/s and I sleep with it.

dialup/was a modem apprentice in att newsgroup/never again

you must have the patience of job to upload those pics
