   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v5) for Windows

   5.0 Beta 6 (Jun 15, 2011)

   Against my usual better judgement.. (:) )
   I started my current version with : firefox -p
   and made a new profile and took the checkmark out of the Don't Show on Startup box.
   
   Then I chose a Custom Install option and renamed the install folder to Mozilla Firefox5 to keep my working version working.
   I copied my working profile with its addons to the new profile folder, and when I started up version 5, it installed all but 3 of my addons !
   It works fine apparently, I'm rather impressed .
   
   The functionality and look are about the same as my 3.5.19 version, also, and with a little Customizing the placement on the toolbars, is virtually the same.

   Review - Foxit Reader

   5.0.1.0523 (May 26, 2011)

   My only criticism is that the godawful Ask Toolbar absolutely installs itself regardless if you uncheck the boxes.
   I really really hate the Ask Trojan Bar

   Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

   2011.1325a3589 (May 1, 2011)

   I'm a tech. No, really, I am, have been for years.
   When someone brings a box over that's not right, and it has AVG on it, especially 11, I remove it and replace it with something else.
   What a dog program this turned into over the years.

   Review - MetaProducts Offline Browser

   1.0.0.170 Beta 1 (Apr 6, 2011)

   No offense, but isn't this like 1995 dial up software we used to use when We couldn't stay online long enough to read a page ?

   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack

   1 (Feb 23, 2011)

   It worked fine for me, that is, if you don't count the fact that it kills PCTools Firewall. No more internet access until PCTools is uninstalled.
   Then it worked ok.
   
   VERY fast download for a file this size

   Ballmer.... Master of FUD (at least in his own mind)
   
   What a joke MS is developing into, with their new boat anchor, Vista, especially.

7. Comment - Beta Test Symantec's 2008 Products

   I believe I'll pass on being a beta tester for a known bloatware product.
   Norton has a LONG way to go to dispel its bad reputation.... and being a screen-door in an overweight defensive submarine.
   just mho

8. Comment - Has the PC Become Antiquated?

   1 (Apr 30, 2007 - 8:35 AM)

   meh. I still have a client who has windows 95 on one box, and windows 98 on 3 others into a Novelle server. He's not about to buy something new just because it's out there. He makes a ton of money with his system now, and that's all he cares about.
   
   I mean, really, why upgrade when you don't have to ?
   Except ME, of course, I upgrade mine a couple times a year ususally. heh.
   
   Just can't seem to picture WII controls for my AMD system, though.

    meh.
    I'm just going to stop watching TV altogether. There's nothing airing that is worth purchasing extra equipment, and I maybe watch 2 hours of TV a week. That time could well be used to catch up on my reading .
