What are the differences between IE and Firefox?  Would I access the 
internet differently through Firefox than I do through IE and is surfing the 
internet any different using Firefox?  If Firefox works better than IE and 
isn't much different than IE I might try it.

Hi, Troy. Another option you might consider, if you haven't already, is
installing Firefox, which found even more on the website than IE6 with
