[Shotimes] RE Computer

[Ian Fisher]

Have you tried Firefox? I've been using it for close
to a year with 99% error free browsing. For those 1%,
I still have IE; I just don't have it set as a default
browser. I dunno; try it out and keep IE as your
default. If you like it, switch over without
uninstalling IE.
