Hi all

One of the best things I did with my computer was to use an alternative browser and email proggy.

www.mozilla.com

has FREE progs - Firefox & Thunderbird.

both are better and faster and have better security - as all those idiots writing bugs etc target microsoft progs


cheers

Absolutely.

If a person is using iExplorer - especially if they use it along with Windows, then the best thing they can do for their online experience is to use another browser - and of the alternatives, my favourites are Safari and Firefox, with Safari being noticably more stable than Firefox.

Safari comes bundled with Mac OSX, although it can also be downloaded here

Linux users can benefit from using it's little brother, Konqueror - I don;t go anywhere near Linux as it lacks functionality and is horribly user unfriendly, and I don;t even begin to understand the whole hoo-ha Linux has with compiling programs up from source-code, so i haven;t got the faintest clue where to get Conqueror from.

As Safari was created by Apple and was based on KDE Linux source code for Konqueror, there isn;t a Windows version.

Safari really is fab - I'm using it just now because not only is it more stable than Firefox (and certainly more than iExplorer) but also noticably faster - which makes quite a difference on my crappy slow connection

are there really that many folks using macs?
I know they are good machines but you cant really build them yourself, can you???
the pc is not perfect but I would prefer to have a better operating system than MS (sounds like a disease!)
