Internet Explorer 7

I uninstalled it I was so unimpressed.

Hi Mand

I moved my allegiances to Firefox early last year and haven't looked back.

Download Firefox 2 Here You may never look back in anger either.

Erm..... actually Firefox has the same annoying tab (which i quite like ) but i've never tried to get rid of it.

................. I have now ticked 'do not show message again' and it doesnt

Firefox also has a very good free FTP client called FireFTP, it can be downloaded here.

From Wikipedia:

"FTP or file transfer protocol is used to connect two computers over the Internet so that the user of one computer can transfer files and perform file commands on the other computer.

Specifically, FTP is a commonly used protocol for exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as the Internet or an intranet). There are two computers involved in an FTP transfer: a server and a client. The FTP server, running FTP server software, listens on the network for connection requests from other computers. The client computer, running FTP client software, initiates a connection to the server. Once connected, the client can do a number of file manipulation operations such as uploading files to the server, download files from the server, rename or delete files on the server and so on. Any software company or individual programmer is able to create FTP server or client software because the protocol is an open standard. Virtually every computer platform supports the FTP protocol. This allows any computer connected to a TCP/IP based network to manipulate files on another computer on that network regardless of which operating systems are involved (if the computers permit FTP access). There are many existing FTP client and server programs."

It is damn handy if you need it - otherwise a bit of a chocolate teapot.

Diccus: Try to not think about penguins - should keep you entertained for 5 minutes or so. Let me know how you get on.

I prefer Kit Kats

I've downloaded it and will leave it there to brew.

My only gripe with IE7 is that it installed with 'Clear Type for HTML' by default. This gave an obviously inferior display of text on my LCD monitor.

It may be disabled under 'Tools' - 'Internet Options' - Advanced' - 'Multimedia'.

My only gripe with IE7 is that its a load of old bollocks which some how weighed in at like 70 megs and is still shitter than firefox, which in itself is pretty shit.

Microsoft don't half get away with a load of old crap.

As do you, IE7 is a 14mb d/l

I was just basing it on how long it took for the microsoft update thingy to actually install IE7. For me it initially downloaded a smallish file then that file hooked up to MS to do the full download, which was big, slow and unwieldy. A bit like IE7

Possibly because you have a bastardised install of Windows running on a mac.
