I am SUCH a Geek!
So as you are well aware, the primary laptop (because it was running XP, this POS is running 98 and I'm afraid to upgrade....it runs pretty well) crashed and burned. So I have been catching up on making this little one as user friendly as the other was. First I upgraded Sage and added as many feeds as I could remember. Today was Firefox plugin day. I upgraded to the newest version of FF and then I added the Gmail delete button (YAY!!!), ForecastFox, FoxyTunes, FlashGot, IE Viewer, Translate, and my personal new favorite, ReminderFox, which is a handy lite calendar/to do list that pops up at the bottom of the screen. I hate outlook and all other full calendar programs, and I forget to use them. This one highlights at the bottom of the window when you have a current reminder, and you can just mouse over to see what you needed to remember. All in one window. Excellent.
Now I need to go get Gmail notifier since GoogleTalk doesn't run on Win 98...
Love me some Firefox. What are your favorite extensions and plugins?

I am soo glad that you are fixing that thing. Now, if we could both get healthy... BTW, has the box came from Dell yet?

Firefox is a damn fine browser, though.
