Below is what one of my sis-in-laws sent yesterday when she realized she had forgotten about my birthday. Warning: users of Firefox should first read Marilee's post below.

:::sniff::: It killed my new Firefox. I'm seriously thinking about downgrading. This one has a lot of trouble with ads and other kinds of moving graphics.

I just added a warning about that to my entry.
Sorry.

Well, it's Firefox's problem. They're not handling the graphics well. And it's very slow. When I open up the Bookmarks, I can see the icons coming in next to the names. With the old version, it all came up at once.

Still, I thought it better to warn people. Don't you love it when 'they' improve things?

There's a reason I have MSWorks95 and MSPublisher98 on my computer!

The thing is, I waited weeks after the upgrade came out to get it and it still isn't really quite working. Some of the problem may be my stupid computer (only 256M memory) and when I have the money saved, I'll get a computer that will be, at that moment, very smart.

I wish you the means for a smarter computer. Hopefully, the Improvers will refrain from improving the internet long enough for you to enjoy it. I am bummed that you couldn't share in the much needed hilarity and chuckles that I felt when I got that belated-birthday apology.

Hmm. I'm using FF 3.01 and I had no difficulty seeing it at all.
