Off the top of my head, I'd prefer lots of new windows to clicking back and forth in one window. That's just me. Not in any position to dispute Doug empirically, but in the absence of any communication from my editor, I have to follow the written rules. And my editor hasn't sent me any return signals since Wednesday, though I hope to see him at my birthday party Saturday. Just went 12 rounds with the goddamn WordPress (hate computers more than ever), Andy 2. yeyo love it 170 up, 50 down hate it spanish for cocaine Rush rush, got the yeyo?

I agree with Andrew. To me, that was the best new feature about Firefox, the tabs. So you could open all these links and stay on the same page you started. Then browse the other links at your leisure.

(Alternately, Amazon has it for a mere $12.21--cheaper on eBay) The Greenville County Library doesn't have it, Andy! And, as far as Amazon and eBay, you have to pay shipping--where the amount I'd save off of the cover price is slim at best (maybe the cost of a gallon of gas--woo-hoo) You have to remember you are in coffee and book ground zero, and I'm not. It would be a book I'd have to special order or get from said vendors, and I simply wanted to get a little critical opinion before plunking down whatever for said mystery book, as I trust (for the most part) the opinions on here. - --Mark **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

It must be new stuff sold by Amazon themselves), you get free shipping. So, if there's more than one thing you want and the prices are good...
