This will be of interest to those of you who spend a large amount of time online (DAVE). If you are as sick of Micro $oft as I am here is a much better, faster and safer (it doesn't use activeX so not so easy to hack etc.) internet explorer. Its free too

I have been using it and it even imports your favorites for you.

I thought this was going to be a thread about the film with Clint Eastwood stealing a Russian fighter plane, not some compuder geekery.
In which case I have nothing to say on the subject.

Have to agree with Grunpy Git and Argent_Taon. Been using firefox for some time at home now.
I particularly like the tabbed browsing feature.

I tried it but FireFox can't seem to connect to websites that are run on Port21.
(Basicilly means that I can't upload with it)
