    This post should generate the need for a new mouse in some people :)

    Re: This post should generate the need for a enw mouse in some people :) Besides it having a wire, you have to have desk space to move it around. Long live the wireless trackball. :up:

    Adblock extension for firefox sux ..

    I've been a registered user of Admuncher since it came out. I have had it miss a few things and fail to get them all when adding a filter. That has been over a long period of time. What I most like about Adblock is being able to easily remove items from a page. Some sites I go to often may have...

    Adblock extension for firefox sux ..

    I've been using both Adblock and Admuncher on four systems with no problem. Two desktops and two laptops running from a 750 Mhz Intel to an AMD 64 3400+. I like the combination of adblockers since one gets what the other may miss.

    The Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird discussion (Part 3)

    I tried launch.com and with 1.0 PR I get a window telling me I need to use Netscape version 4 to 7 to view the videos. Using IE their test video keeps running over and over and when hitting I see the video it just keeps playing that test video. Then I tried Opera and it runs the test video, but...

    The Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird discussion (Part 3)

    About Adobe Reader, Firefox and XP: One thing I had to do to be able to view PDFs on Firefox and do it quickly was to make a couple changes, one to Firefox and the other to Adobe Reader. First thing I did was on Firefox I went to Tools/Options/Downloads and then to File Types; I then clicked...

    The Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird discussion (Part 3)

    First off, I have XP Home and Pro. I did a fresh install of 1.0 PR. I had tried TabBrowser Preferences this time, before I used TBE. I discovered I could not load anymore extensions or any sites doing something with Java when doing a D/L would just hang. I uninstalled TBP and everything worked...

    xp in black and white

    Under the Apperance tab there is a "high contrast white" choice that will get you to black and white. If you don't see it, then it might be part of the accesability options, as somebody else mentioned. I know it isn't something I downloaded.

    Our Favorite Tweaks

    One thing I do in my single line IE bar is I drag the next bar over stuff I don't use much. To start I leave just < and > exposed and Stop/Refresh/History (that is all I use) are covered by the drop down text menus bar. Tools and Help in the text menus bar are covered by the Address bar since I...

    best dvd burning software?

    I've seen a lot on Roxio hosing some systems drive letters, rearraging them or causing problems when other burning software is on a system. It doesn't do that to everybody, but I've read about it enough and seen it mentioned on tech shows and know enough people that have had those issues that it...
