Problems with the new "improved" Google

I use the other Mozilla product , Thunderbird , to access usenet and a gmail account, avoiding all the Java crap on Google via Firefox browser.

Have tried typing "gmail.com" in the addressfield on your browser?

I usually just have to type "g" before it suggest gmail.com "go" to get to google.com "e" to my favorite newspaper "s" for slashdot

You can also setup firefox to start multiple tabs with the favorites you want.

K.I.S.S. :-)

The G-meisters do whatever possible to mess with Firefox. Look in the lower left corner and see what the browser is waiting for. It's usually a GOOG application, spot server, ads, etc.

Surrender to the Borg. At least you can easily turn off the snooping in Chrome. Cheers.

Hey Jurb Well actually you're close, but in the wrong Millennium. I think that most of my equipment came over with Columbus. Most of it were cast offs from peo ple who needed the latest and greatest of whatever and now might be conside red paper weights by today's standards, but the good news is that the price was right. My oldest is a 586 which runs 98 and all my customer files in D OS 6.2.22, etc. I don't go on the Internet with that one anymore. This comp uter is a Dell 600M laptop with XP on dialup. That's why these extra useles s steps to get into Gmail are a real pain in the ass. I do like the Thunder bird idea and also the "going back to a kinder gentler time" idea too. I've done that restore before, (don't know if I've ever done it on XP though) i n the past and it has worked. And as far as that Dinosaur stuff, I hear thi s s*it from my kids all the time,"Dad, get with the program", and things li ke "did they have electricity when you were born"?. So I'm fairly used to p eople marveling, (or shaking their heads) at my antiques. I tape all my TV programs off my antenna and I just picked up two 2400.00 commercial VCR's f rom a cable TV station for 2 bucks. And they probably think that I got f*ck ed. So don't worry about offending me with dinosaur comments. We've both b een on this group a long time. I know where you're coming from. I have a se nse of humor. So does my wife. She married me. There was no offense taken. Lenny

I use the system restore function about once every 3 or 4 months to clear up some mysterious thing that seems to be causing problems. I have XP pro on my machine. THe restore seems to be easy enough to do, and usually clears the malfunction right up.
