Ok, I've had enough of Internet Explorer (IE). Any suggestions for alternatives, that means BETTER, is kindly sought.

Internet explorer do I hear you say? You disappoint and bring shame on your agnostic cousin sir. IE I would've thought is a thing of the past.

You ought to use Mozilla Firefox instead. It sooo rocks! With Mozilla you can browse as many as 5 different web pages in one window therefore allowing you to quickley skip from one page to another without having to change windows.

It's got many other improved features that makes browsing tonnes easier which I really can't put into words or express well right now. It definitely beats IE however. And it's constantly improved as well.

Check it out dude!

On the subject of software, does anyone know how to use a programme called DC++? I've got it downloaded, but I haven't the slightest clue as to how to use it.

I downloaded and currently cruising the information super highway with Mozilla Firefox...


...so far I find Mozilla miles ahead of IE in user-friendly features. I'll report back.

Good for you DD, glad you've finally caught up with the technological advancement of the rest of humanity, but can anyone help me out with my problem?

How do I use DC++ ?
