But so far it loads pretty fast anyway. I guess its all in what PC you have and your individual taste.
I just can't stand IE, though. Just my own experience w/ it has not been good.
There is only one browser that I "slightly" prefer over FF...it's called Avant.It's worth a try,it has the same IE platform but it has skins and better features.I like Firefox 3 so much that I find I'm using Avant less but it's still well worth downloading Avant as a backup browser!

I'm really waiting on the new Adobe CS3.3 Master Works collection. It can print photographs in 16bit color. And I shut down my darkroom for this but it is not available yet!!!!

I don't know if I like it yet, but I'll give it time... I've been an avid FF user for awhile. We'll see.

It should come with it. It came with FF2. And mine has all my old plug ins except the ones I'm waiting for upgrades on. It should underline misspelled words in red. This would work in things you use your browser for like posting to Political Wrinkles. If it isn't already installed, you can get it at this Firefox/Mozilla site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...+check&cat=all

I just D/L it. will give it a try. But I'm so tied to my IE Browser. Old habits. Thanks also for the links Spencer.

Has anyone tried the new SP3 on XP? I got my disk last week and wondering if I should or not.
