Excellent. I'm looking forward to trying it. I have trouble on some sites with 
safari, and I'm hoping maybe this will work better for me. Thanks for talking 
about it. I had not heard of this particular one before and I'm always hesitant 
to try browsers and things until I hear from others what experience they've 
had. I'd say I'm kind of a medium skill computer person and so I don't often 
get adventurous unless I have reason to believe I should be able to work things 
out. (smile)
