Just because I like to share...
Other people's pictures can be so interesting, so I decided to choose my perspective. Here it is! Enjoy!

More reasons to love Mozilla
My computer! It's ALIVE!!!
It works, it's cleaner, peripherals installed (discovered the loose extra USB cable was for my webcam - no wonder the silly thing wasn't working :-o) and most of my favourite software has been reloaded (MS Office, CorelDraw, Firefox, Skype, Trillian, Irfanview, AMP Font Viewer, Adobe reader, Media Monkey, Symmtime) and all my fonts (links-only to the Windows directory).
The biggest hitch was that Netscape (yes, I was still using it as my mail client) would NOT install. It wasn't that I particularly liked Netscape, it's just that after using it for so many years, all my mail and folders, which I do use, were only accessible in it.
Well, I had to bite the bullet, and installed Mozilla Thunderbird. Did it, got both accounts created - then dicovered how to import ALL my mail and folders from Netscape without screwing up the new mail! Woot! Woot! Links in email now open a new tab in Firefox automatically - no stupid IE launch. So beautiful. So easy. *happy sigh* So easy to switch between mail, website links, research tabs - and not get screwed up when interrupted by a phonecall! I feel so productive!
Maybe it's time for a nap :-)
