How did you find out I was using Thunderbird for email?
I don't really use Internet Explorer, I just like to experiment. IE7 on
win2000 couldn't really bring me anything but a chance to tell Microsoft
that they are wrong in saying that ie7 doesn't work on win2000.
I am fully pleased with firefox except for the amount of memory it can
take up. I didn't really like Opera, I still use Netscape, and the
Safari browser from Apple runs on 2000, even though they say it only
works on xp or vista.
Thanks,
