Laurie, any chance of a quick edit, cos 48 pages of 'conspiricy' is starting to do my head in.

How hard is it to get the subject line right.. I mean you even get a red line under your mistakes, you can right-click for an automatic correction.

Err right. Some people still use Internet Explorer. The only thing that does decently is download Chrome.

OK Internet basics 101 for clueless noobs:

1. Go get chrome. www.google.com/chrome/
2. Install Adblock adblockplus.org/en/chrome
3. ???
4. Profit in so many ways. Including little red lines under your spelling mistakes... even has an Australian Dictionary not US.

Yep that totally wasn't aimed at you... not trying to be harsh. Past my bed time most likely.

Chrome??!?? The only thing chrome is good for is making bumpers on old cars shiny!

Firefox people, Firefox. It also has an Australian spelling dictionary, pop blockers and all manner of good things.

By the way - Chrome is MUCH faster and has Google search function in the URL line... once you use it (and get your favourites sorted) I doubt you'll go back to IE.

Heh boofy right you are. I did say it was past my bedtime.

Someotherguy: I was a firefox user for years, swore by it. Then I ran both for a while. Now I just use chrome. It's way faster to open/close, uses less memory (doesn't bog down as much when you leave 20 tabs open and come back 6 hrs later), and searching in the address bar just works.

Lol,

I managed to spell Amateur wrong in my nick. In my defence I have used this nick since I was young and didnt know how to spell it correctly. Its too hard to change it now so I just live with the incorrect spelling

+1
Chrome is the bomb. Google on the march to word domination.

I have been a firefox user before but found it had pretty bad memory leaks (IE has em too).

The one I use is addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/english-australian-dictionary/

Just install it and hey presto! Red squiggly lines under all your spelling mistakes.
