On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, here's a really minor issue. I'm used to the websites I've been to recently still being in the drop-down bar when I restart IE. And yet? NSM here with the new computer. The setting seem like they should be there. Any ideas?

That is all.

Hey. New board.

The ability to edit my personal RSS feed on here was so exciting and spoiling (I read SO much better on a light grey background than a white one) that I installed Stylish on my Firefox. Now I'm catching myself writing custom sheets for a lot of pages I use regularly. Nice!

The TWOP recaps are MUCH more readable on a gray background with a better font. Which is good, since last week's GG recap is 36 pages long.

This feels like a really dumb question, but I want to download Firefox, and I can't figure out how to do it from the website. The link from the main Mozilla page sent me here [link] , and don't see a "download" link for just regular Firefox 2 anywhere on that page.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hil, when I look at that page, there's a big acid-green button in the top-left part of the page that says "download Firefox 2.0.0.14" -- it's not a link on the list further down. Are you blocking images or anything like that?

I don't see a green button.

I'm not blocking images, but I just downloaded the Mac updates that my computer has been bugging me to download for a while, and a bunch of stuff in Safari seems to have gotten messed up. Some images are gone, but not all of them, and gmail is acting weird. I tried downloading the newest version of Safari, but the older one isn't letting me see that website properly now.
