    This is no flamebait. "redmondmag" used to be a Microsoft lapdog under another name for the longest time...

  2. article nitpick: date and versions don't match by real_smiff · · Score: 1, Redundant

    OK this may be minor but the versions of Opera and Firefox mentioned imply this article was written months ago, yet it's dated October. What's going on? Why have we been given an old article (and not just a week old either)? Opera 7.54 (going by the file modified dates i have), is a version up from what the article claims is the latest and was released on 29th August this year. When you're discussing security time can matter.

  3. I've converted my wife to Firefox and Thunderbird by PaytonByrd · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I've been hearing the same complaints from my wife about her computer being slow for months. She's using a Dual Pentium III 750 with 512 Megs of Ram and Windows XP. The problem was her computer is slow, it was IE and Outlook XP being slow.

    This weekend I converted her over to Firefox and Thunderbird. Not only was she happy, she was REALLY happy about it and she's thanked me twice more today.

    I write a blog on IT Toolbox and today I wrote about this topic. Go check it out!
