Mostly it told you if he was still alive or not.

Very important information to know on a daily basis.

Huhh what? You feeling OK?

Works for Microsoft, probably...

Actually I use Opera. Firefox is a big fat hog unless they've made strides in the memory management department. It also takes an a$$-load of time to startup. My backup is IE, over FF.

I loaded a few pages with pics, then closed them after viewing them. Here's how FF reacts to that... http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/rh71/ffmemory.gif It never gave it back unless you close it completely and restarted.

I didn't want to hijack but since you guys obviously wanted me to...

Opera FTW

Nobody had anything to do with it. I switched to Opera when FF 2.0 originally came out because it would crash on my system. FF 2.0 now works but is an utter memory hog so I still stick with Opera unless I need IE for something.
