I have to agree, tabs are the way to go. I will never go back to IE even when Vista comes out with tabs.

MOZILLA FIREFOX http://getfirefox.com its simple, just centerclick on a link and it opens in a new tab, use ctrl+t and it opens a new tab and you can switch between them... I often have over 10 tabs open, its like having 10 browsers open but better. They also have many good extensions, the main one I use is tabbed browser preferences. Jon

I tried opera a few times and never really liked it.

I definately like firefox, it is a very good browser.

Flipping between here and Google...All the time. It's the best way to learn and it helps me to round out some of the ideas people here present (as I posted in another thread prompted by the comment "Just when I think I know what is going on I realize how much I don't understand")

I used to tell my college students my scarcastic view of the American education system.

1. K-12. If you lucky you learn to read, write, do simple math, and play well with others
2, undergraduate study. You find what you think you might want to do for the rest of your life and more importantly you learn what you don't want to do.
3. Graduate school. You study your chosen profession and most importantly you learn how to ask questions and actually listen to the answers as well as use the library.

Welcome to CNC graduate school.

I too, realise now much I don't know every day here when I read a new post and see how many terms I have to look up in google so I can understand the post. See widgitmasters other post on drip feeding for example (here I don't think Google would help because I if you google "drip feeding" I would expect that you would find a lot of bizzare sex fettish stuff). Occasionally someone actually asks a question that I can answer. Sometimes, I just think I can answer the question, and I try anyway. This is when Gerry (or WidgitMaster) steps in and makes a correction. This place is a great learning experience. Learn everything you can and give back knowlege whenever you can.

Google is my home page and I use it for everything.

This is one trick that I use. Enter the keyword “site” then a colon then the URL and then the search words into Google. It will only get you hits from the selected URL. Cut and paste the following into Google.

site:www.cnczone.com drip feeding

site:www.cnczone.com DNC

I also use Google to do my metric conversions. It also does all kinds of other conversions. Try…

2.8mm in in

17.6in in mm

100F in C

Thanks for the tip on FireFox. This is my first real day of using it and so far it's pretty good. The Theme Options and Tools are excellent.
