Re: Microsoft, Opera, and PBW
Has anyone tried to sue MS for these kinds of malicious practices/incompetences. If MS was a hospital, they would be in jail for 2000 years!

Re: Microsoft, Opera, and PBW
Thanks all for the advice. I tried FireFox, it's nice, very similar to OPera, but I really didn't like the way it dealt with a few things, especially downloads and tabs (if it could be set to automatically open new bookmarks into *seperate* tabs, then I might have stuck with it, but I usually cycle through 20-30 bookmarks regularly, and having to "right-clik to open into seperate tabbed window" was too much of a pain).
And, Opera really does have a better layout I think.
So, in the end, I purged Opera, reinstalled it, and I can once again easily download turns from PBW! woo hoo!
thanks again,
Alarik

Re: Microsoft, Opera, and PBW
I switched to Mozilla about six months ago, and changed to Thunderbird for my mail client. They work MUCH better than IE or Outlook.

You can bookmark a whole set of tabs, this might help. Sometimes, I too miss ctrl-click on a bookmark, but ctrl+T (opening a new empty tab) and bookmark clicking is not that much more effort.

Re: Microsoft, Opera, and PBW
Is thunderbird substantially better than Eudora? I find Eudora to be pretty good, but haven't really shopped around enough to have an educated opinion...
