A part of the upcoming Vista operating system, IE 7 is now available as a free download here.
I've been using the various beta versions for quite some time and I am pretty happy with it. Sometime in November, I believe, it will be an automatic part of the Windows Update download, but if you want it now use the link. The interface is different, but you will get used to it.  All your favorites will stay intact!
Have fun!

| Quite awhile ago I switched to Fire Fox, - like it quite a bit. In fact I couldn't open this site with IE6 (I think it was) but had no problem using Fire Fox. I'll take a close look at IE 7, has to be an improvement - thanks for the info. |

| I've been using FireFox and the IE7 beta for a while, too. I'm still having a time getting used to the tabs, but otherwise it's no big adjustment. Mostly I keep forgetting that because of some of my settings, I have to hit Ctrl/click to get that second tab to open for some things. It's nice, though, to be able to bounce between some pages without hitting the Back button. |

| Oh, Rich, I forgot I wanted to ask - on IE7, have you had times when pages don't load completely? I've frequently had to refresh the page to get all the images to display. Not all the time, but fairly often. |

| I have been using the Netscape 8.1 and find it far superior to IE. |

| Netscape's better now? How so? I haven't used it since...hmmmm...version 4 or so, I think. I'd appreciate hearing. |

| Cool. Sounds like they've done some work. Might just give that a try, too. Why not? Three browsers...aw, heck, I've got other redundant software. (Gotta get around to exorcising the Magic Box someday....) |

Are you on a dial-up connection? I am, and yes, it does occasionally happen. Not often though. |

| Yep, on dialup. Thought it might have something to do with that. If I refresh, I get more each time. Not horrible, just sometimes annoying. |

Ahhh, yes, dial-up.... gotta love and hate it... 
 The really annoying thing is even with all of the construction and new building going on around us, we seem to be in some weird "zone / island " that isn't cable nor DSL ready??? Give me a freakin break! It's not like we're in the middle of nowhere!  |
