One word: FireFox 3.x (OK, 4 or 5 words, depending on who is counting). As if it matters: I have been a fan of FireFox since its Version 1.x. FF3 is the best in its class!

FireFox is your portal to the Internet. It puts Microsoft's Internet Explorer to shame. For a discussion of FF's virtues, see Firefox web browser: Faster, more secure, & customizable .

What blew me away recently was that I was in the middle of an online 'chat' - using FireFox - with HP tech support. It was a dark and stormy night, and we experienced a short power 'blip.' That brief decrease in line voltage messed up a command that I executed, and FireFox closed - in the middle of the chat. I restarted FF, and it re-opened all of the web pages I had open - at exactly the same place as before the power glitch..... including the online chat, where the technician was waiting for my answer. We continued the conversation as if nothing had happened.

Try THAT with your Internet Explorer, Mr. Gates.
