Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thanks!

Anyone willing to help me out? I have something that's fairly straightforwardly factual. If not ... well, I'll fumble through.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

How is it misused?

I remember seeing a particularly inane article by John Dvorak where he was complaining about ajax. A closer read, however, made clear that what he was really complaining about was poorly written CSS and javascript.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't know if any of the tech gurus will have advice since my preferred browser is so out of date (Netscape 7.1 for the Mac), but just in case:

Something apparently happened to my program over the long weekend, resulting in Netscape no longer actually saving files to my computer when I click "Save Link Target As..." or "Save Image." It seems to work normally, but the download manager doesn't pop up and nothing actually gets saved. (Whatever happened also erased most of my saved bookmarks, but left a random assortment including some recent ones.) I've looked through the preferences to see if there's some setting I need to switch back, but couldn't find any likely culprits. I also re-installed the program, but the same problem continues. Any advice or suggestions?

have you cleared out your cookies and cache?

can you create a new profile (like you can do on firefox) and start over?

I'll give the former a try. I don't recall seeing a place to create a profile within the program, though.

Hotmail has decided my friend's email address is spam. Any clue on how I fix this?

My keyboard just turned itself British. Help?

PC. The Language Toolbar swears I'm in English (US), but my at and hash keys say otherwise!

[eta: It's not a huge deal because I'm leaving in 5 minutes, but I really hope it fixes itself by tomorrow.]
