Reinstalling Firefox to fix my problem loading Amazon.com didn't help. I created a fresh install with a new profile and also tried safe mode, but it's still not loading reliably.

I have to say that I haven't heard anything good about the XPS machines, and I have heard some very bad about them.
The DH and I both have XPSs, for over a year now, and no real complaints. One of my hard drives was faulty, but that was easily fixed.
Just as a datapoint.
Question for the Hivemind: Is there any way to collect all news articles on the internet about a certain topic? Even if some of the articles are in, say, Greek, and some of the sources don't do RSS feeds (bastards!)?
I have a research project for work, and instead of going to 15 websites every day I was hoping to find some way to bring the newsy goodness to my door.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
HiddenSky, my work XP computer has Firefox 1.5.0.1. Amazon is still working fine.
Do you have SP2 installed? All the latest Windows updates? That's the only other thing I can think of....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Does anyone know how to copy a filtered list from excel into word? Copy & paste just seems to give me back the rows I don't want.

Google Alerts seems to give me only results from the major news feeds, which is OK...but I was hoping to be able to specify local Greek sources as well.
Still, on the odd chance that the majors pick up news of the 17N trials, Google will Alert me.

I did that, and then cut and paste, but still get the rows I don't want. In any case, I just filtered the rows I didn't want and deleted those before c&p into word.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is anyone here enough of a collector to want a Mac clone circa 1996? I have a Supermac C600 that I need to stop storing.
