Nah, I do dig up in dem B15 ting.
I don't see the big deal with the downloads. Given a FRESH installation of
XP, you still have to download JAVA, a new flash player AND a new shockwave
player for MY/IE. Even if you don't then it's included in the installation,
whcih would send the initial download size way up. FFox is 8MB.
You haven't had to do it because it was already installed with your IE
installation.
Firefox has some outstanding features that make browsing quicker for me. I
hardly ever use the mouse unless I have to, so my typical browsing session
is:
fireup firebird, and load up a forum page. CTRL-L gets me to the address bar
so I can type the url. I type in part of the url and the history pops up.
Down arrow, enter... page pops up. It's a forum, so tons of links.
I see a thread I want. I just start typing it in, just like Baego's beloved
Winamp Jump feature (find as you type). There are more links I want to
follow, so I don't want to open in the same window. CTRL-ENTER. The thread
opens in a new tab. CTRL-1 and I'm at the 1st tab. keep typing in thread
titles and CTRL-ENTER. 6 tabs open while I'm still reading the first.
CTRL-2, on to the next tab. It's already loaded and waiting for me. I'm done
with that page, so CTRL-W (or CTRL-F4) and I close it
I see something I want to google, CTRL-K, type the word, enter.
...you get the idea.
Tell me how it goes with your MYIE session, mouse pusher.

I am using Firefox and MYIE
and Firefox doesn't hold a candle to MYIE.
the whole thing behind this is where as MYIE comes with all the suping up
already on it. As you put it "the Vinyl and Rims"
Firefox...I have to go out to a "chop shop" and get these same friggin
Vinyl.
--Which--
is not only time consuming..but down right ridiculous.
At least even with IE there is an install on demand aspect built into the
thing.
So everytime I come up on a website with something different (Alla meet up a
man with a hotter car) I have to tell him wait ah not ready to race yet...ah
need to go by Maska and get a Webber and a HOTCOIL???
**TIHSLLUB**
Ah rather drive the B15
as Ramp said...add a few lines of prayers for ya browser that be.....MYIE
Dry ya most unfair...show de man a pic of a B15 too nah....lol
