All is well that ends in pizza.

Firefox 3 beta 3 is coming out soon.

Hey. New board.

Beta 3 is already out. Do you maybe mean version 4 is coming out soon, or did I just give you a new toy?

Must have been 4.

February 27, 2008 (Computerworld) For the second time in the past four weeks, Mozilla Corp. has announced a "code freeze" for a beta version of Firefox 3.0 -- this time, Beta 4 -- as it prepares another public release of the open-source browser.

The freeze was announced late Tuesday. By midday Wednesday, however, Mozilla was saying that a fifth beta might be necessary.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Beta 4 contains the code which makes it much faster on Mac OSX, IIRC. Unless you're using the nightly builds, in which case you've got the code in place.

They've rewritten the Javascript processor and fixed a load of memory leaks. It's much nicer.

Hey. New board.

Wow. I'm using Beta 3 and it feels very fast compared to previous builds. Can't wait for Beta 4 to blow my mind even more!

Vista Ultimate and Vista Business still come with the ability to downgrade to XP for free. True?

I'm contemplating getting my first cell phone.
Connie, I have a Razr from AT&T just sitting here. Since I got the iPhone, I don't need it. I think its locked to AT&T. If your hubby is AT&T, add you in a family plan. Just needs a new SIM chip. I have the "travel" charger and the car 12v charger plus a little belt carry case.

I have a Brother multi-function printer that cost about $100.00, and the quality of the scans and the printing is much better than my Canon, which was judged by someone who ought to know the best little printer of its year the year it came out, and a year later was found to have faulty print heads. Replacing the ink on the Brother cost almost $100.00, though. I always forget to check the cost of replacement ink when I'm shopping for a printer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I called ahead to the Michigan Ave. Apple store to make sure they had the 500GB Time Capsule in stock. They said they did, so I went downtown to find the 500GB ones out of stock. So I got a 1TB one instead. Just unpacked it - it has a nice chemical smell that I enjoy sniffing.

Will report back later. If you don't hear from me, assume I became addicted to the fumes....
