I just tested it wit 2 PCs side by side and my puter with the IE6 won out over this new one.

As far as browsers go, I would suggest those 2 multi-platform browsers, for overall superiority (combination of speed, security, features...):

-Opera: Opera browser: Home page
-Firefox: Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable

I stick to Firefox because of the built-in spellcheck (can't live without it, in english, spanish & french...) and also because of AdBlock Plus ( Adblock Plus: Save your time and traffic )... Now, whenever I have to use someone else's PC, it hurts to see all those adds while browsing the web... I haven't had adds in my browser for years...

I wanted to test it, but my puter doesn't recognize xpi files.
File Type: Unknown
Description: Windows does not recognize this file type.

Marco, in the Firefox toolbar, go into the "tools" tab, and then "add-on" (or "extensions", I don't know how it is called in english...). This will take you to the Mozilla plugins web page. Type "fasterfox" in the search box, and it will re-direct you straight to the download page, so you only need to click on the module...
Same goes for AdBlock Plus...

As a matter of fact, here's the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1269

and also: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1865

The gremlins are at work today.
When I use your link, it takes me to a Google sign in page, and subsequently to this.

Well, yes... This is Google Docs... If you are lost in an internet caf? in the middle of the jungle, using a PC without any office suite, it can help out a bit...

But I would rather recomend OOo ( OpenOffice.org: Home )

It is 100% related to your Gmail account, and any other Google stuff... Try to write a new doc...

OK, I've removed some of the large graphics and the long links that make the page scroll forever horizontally. If you think there is anything crazily missing now, please pm me the post and the link or graphic and I'll put it back without distorting the page.

None of the pages scrolled horizontally for me, and I have no idea what you may have removed.
My memory ain't that good.
I wonder why it was that way on you puter and not on mine.
I know that I downsized all the pix for that very reason, so that they would not be too wide.
