Ready to Give Up

On web browsers doing what they're supposed to do. Firefox delets my bookmarks every time it installs an update; the "back" button on IE takes me to pages I've never visited. Netscape is dead (but it was ugly even in life). Opera...sounds a little fay. Does Safari work on a PC?

have you tried DOS? ......I'm sorry. I don't know enough about technology to be any funnier than that.

Hey, isn't your birthday tomorrow?

I never, ever had a problem with DOS. And it had the best games: Captain Comic, Commander Keen, Clyde's Adventure. Heck, even the lame-u-cational Math Castle wasn't half bad. Let's bring it back.

Time to switch to Linux?

Spoon, dude I don't know if it would be as funny to you, but I laughed really hard after editing one of my previous posts.

Hey Spoon, I feel your pain.

I have actually been doing some observing and my PC that has WinXP on it is now acting a little flaky after a recent version upgrade on Firefox.

I'm also having problems with it on my Vista machine at work.

Trust me, you don't want Safari. I ditched it less than a week after I got my Mac. Firefox has never done that to me, that's weird (I still use Firefox on my Mac).

Actually if you want to you can get Safari for PC.

It is in beta testing.

J, I read your comment update and laughed. And I haven't tried Safari on my PC yet (thanks for the link max). I really wish Firefox would work how it's supposed to.

From what I've read the Safari for Windows is a pretty buggy beta release. My work only allows IE, and I only have Ubuntu installed on my home computers, so I've never tried it for myself. I haven't rncountered FF deleting bookmarks in linux, though. Haven't tried this either, but there is a Firefox extension that backs up all your extensions & bookmarks, though.

Nice. Leave it to Krull to know the solution to all of life's annoying problems.
