I have been using Firefox and Camino (as I use a Mac) for quite a long time now, and both are great... and fast, since it is not bloated with other services (email, etc.). Also they have a lot of updates to features which are quite strong. Tab browing is another reason for it... and you can add extensions for features that you want (e.g., Google bar for the Mac). cheers! - -fernando On Wed, 23 Jun 2004 17:22:23 -0700 (PDT), Ari wrote: > > http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ > I have been using this browser now for 2-3 > months,fully recommend it,it doesn't take much space > and I personally prefer it to the ms browser,no > pop-ups or drop-in viruses........(so far at least) > give it a try,lemme know what you think.Ari > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > New and Improved Yahoo!

The largely marvellous - and it's bloody precious to me, given that everything else of any worth seems to be going bust (RIP Jockey Slut) - Pitchfork (www.pitchforkmedia.com) is currently rambling through a list of its top hundred seventies albums. And, pleasingly, all three early Wire albums are in there, with "154" at #85, "Chairs Missing" at #33 and "Pink Flag" at #22...which is impressively high in the latter two cases, against some fairly stiff competition. Excellent mini-reviews of each too, should you ever need to provide a suitable precis for a Wire novice. Cheers, ig. np: Two Lone Swordsmen - "From the Double Gone Chapel" (yet again) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2004 04:45:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Derek White Subject: Re: [idealcopy] IdealCopy = Sexist Euro2004 Chat!: An alleged'sexist' speaks..
