just use opera and a saved state w/ tabs. every time you open it you can have it open as many pages as you want

you could write a script and run it with a scheduled task to do this

but that would be a lot of work

how about you have IE set to one and firefox set to the other homepage and then just switch browsers depending on which homepage you want?
 

code your own html page, use javascript to check the time and redirect to google or espn

sounds retarded though

Maybe just make two shortcuts with links to two different sites... is it really that tough to open another site?

that would be the easiest, it woulnd't really be your homepage, but it would put you there when you first open the browser with the link

Bingo! I have 5 or 6 "homepages" that are always loaded in Opera. Firefox will do this also.
