Huh. Mine's not set that way. I'll just go back to my logoff to login purgatory...

I don't know if you are worried about mobile phone being supported, but I tried it from my Treo 700W today and was getting an error saying a script is taking too long to process. I had a choice to abort or continue, and had to abort since continue would causing it to hang while continuing to try to load the script.

I'm not a computer guy by any means but I keep reading you guys talking about Firefox, is this a better browser than IE ? I've never used anything else but I.E. so I'm a bit curious about what you guys think.

Try it. You might like it. For me, firefox loads pages faster, and eliminates 99.9% pop-up ads. Plus I couldn't live without my Tabbed Browsing.

Is Firefox better? Probably is. However, there are still some sites out there that don't work as well with it because they are designed to be used with IE, and take advantage of some of the "features" of the IE browser.
This gets annoying enough for me that every time I try to switch to firefox, I end up back at IE. I don't like having to switch back and forth between two browsers. Firefox does seem to load pages faster though and has the tabbed browsing that was mentioned as well.

I use Firefox as my main browser, and only use IE for sites that require it, or just work better with it -- like Outlook Web Access. I have those sites bookmarked on my toolbar in IE so they're very easy to access.
Since I'd never give up my Firefox features just because a couple sites I use regularly prefer IE, I'm happy using both when I need to.

I'm transitioning to Firefox at this point. Like Pmbuko, I use IE for the sites that require it, as well as for this forum, because for some reason I can't get Firefox to display the fonts the way IE does, which I prefer. Firefox has fewer security issues as well. Check out the extensions that are available.. very convenient plug-ins with nice capabilities.

Michael, Your Snoopy avatar is disturbing. But only from the perspective that it looks JUST like what I am seeing outside through my window as I type this here in Rochester, NY.
