Guest PaulR Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I don't know if most of us are aware but Firefox/Mozilla are attempting to set a download record for a 24-hour period. This is for the updated Firefox 3 browser. I personally use Firefox, and am quite pleased with it over the years. Here are the time tables for Australia to participate in this event (These are start times): Australia - Australian Capital Territory - Canberra Wed 3:00 AM Australia - New South Wales - Sydney Wed 3:00 AM Australia - Northern Territory - Darwin Wed 2:30 AM Australia - Queensland - Brisbane Wed 3:00 AM Australia - South Australia - Adelaide Wed 2:30 AM Australia - Victoria - Melbourne Wed 3:00 AM Australia - Western Australia - Perth Wed 1:00 AM Check it out if you wish. :D

Guest Glenn Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I've been wating for this release. But I'm not going to sit up until 3am though. This site is best viewed with Firefox too :)
Guest PaulR Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've been wating for this release. But I'm not going to sit up until 3am though No need to stay up until 0300. 0300 just starts the 24-hour clock for this effort. This site is best viewed with Firefox too :) This is highly commendable. Firefox IMO adheres to W3C standards much more than IE.
Guest Glenn Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've just installed it and it looks great. Fast too :)
Robbo Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 site crashed at 3am....... I HATE FIREFOX a lot of sites dont work with it and the images take ages to load
Guest Darren Masters Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Yes, seems to be working well for me. I have to get new themes though now as it does not support my Red Shift theme I had :cry:
Robbo Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Hmmm... I seem to be hooked on firefox now :P I love the download manager add -on
Guest Darren Masters Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Hmmm...I seem to be hooked on firefox now :P I love the download manager add -on Aah, another convert :D

Guest Darren Masters Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 still dunno whats going on with vista..It only corrupts my large downloads, anything over 80 meg it corrupts :S Yeah, I would not touch Vista with someone elses machine :lol: I have not heard many good reports about it at all.
Guest Darren Masters Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 What about using CPM? Huh? Some do not have your needs Chainy :shock:
Guest Chainsaw Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Oh Dear, For you young pup's CPM was an operating system before DOS. I can only imagine that some of you young whipper-snappers won't even know what DOS is!! :roll:
Guest Darren Masters Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Oh Dear,For you young pup's CPM was an operating system before DOS. I can only imagine that some of you young whipper-snappers won't even know what DOS is!! :roll: DOS is what I use when I have major problems...
Guest g_i_jack029 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 i like using DOS, when i start up my computer, its configured so you can choose what operating system you want to run, Windows XP, Dos, Red hat, Ubuntu and various other Unix based Operating systems. But CPM :shock: that's way...WAY before my time (no offense to you more senior citizens :P ) btw, FIREFOX RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Robbo Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 it seems there is a problem with my satellite connection, tech support slowed my connection down and i downloaded and it was not corrupt hmmmm. now there gotta try and fix
Robbo Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hello... I am now using firefox thanks to Paul, Darren, Glenn and everyone who posted here. Now I was just wondering how many people are using Mozilla's email client thunderbird?
Guest PaulR Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hello...I am now using firefox thanks to Paul, Darren, Glenn and everyone who posted here. Now I was just wondering how many people are using Mozilla's email client thunderbird? I do. Why use Outlook at home? The only major difference between the two is Outlooks' ability to create/send appointments to other Outlook users. Unless you run a business off your home computer, this is not needed. You can still get a good calendar by using the Lightning extension for Thunderbird. ... and yes, I use OpenOffice as well. :D Microsoft Office is good for an environment where collaboration is required, but OpenOffice is enough for needs at home. If you need to collaborate, you can also use Google Docs. Glad to hear you switched over Robbo!
Guest Glenn Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I use thunderbird too. How many people use addons for firefox and Thunderbird? maybe you could list them. I don't use any addons.
Guest Chainsaw Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 On our systems here, 3 use Outlook and I use Thunderbird. We all use Firefox v3. I have found v3 to be faster then v2.
Guest Darren Masters Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Yes, agree with all. I too use Thunderbird. Have been for just over a year (maybe longer). It is straightforward Robbo and a pleasure to use. Glenn, best just visit the Firefox add-ons page and Thunderbird add-ons page. You will find that in 'tools' then 'add-ons'. There is some great ones there. Currently for Firefox I am using Aquatint Black Gloss for version 3 and yes, I find version 3 much faster than 2.
