Thanks a lot, you good ladies you—Dorothy and Christy, angels for sure. Old
Boz (approaching the big 7-4) needs all the help, suggestions and/or
encouragement he can garner.
A few minutes ago, I downloaded Firefox. It is currently sitting in my
download file waiting, I assume, for me to work up the wherewithal to make
my move . All I can say is it’s a good thing I didn’t command a squad of
Marines on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima on February 24, 1945. If I had, I've
got an idea the Japanese would be the stars of that famous patriotic
flag-raising photo instead of our guys.
I guess it takes one to know one--a Marine that is. Thanks for serving,
guys. You're the best.

Hi, Walt--
Firefox is a good browser, but you'll still need IE for Windows updates
etc....i.e. anything to do with Microsoft.
And when you install Firefox (if you haven't already) you will get an
opportunity to import all your bookmarks from IE....which helps make the
whole thing easier. My suggestion would be to make Firefox your default
browser and try it out. If for some reason you don't like it, just go to IE
and make *that* your default (somewhere in preferences I think--don't use it
anymore myself) and you're back in business with IE. But I think you might
like Firefox.
Good luck,
Sr. Dorothy
