Geek high fives?

Are those the kind that miss?

[jough]

Those are the kind that are a little sticky.

But rock on, 'lucia.  Firebird is the shiznat.

So which high five is the one where you go past each other's hands and grab their ankle, then shake that?

Freemasons?

I'm still using plain Moz. I looked at Firebird but it seemed to lack a few things I wanted out of a broswer... Plus with my system I was't too worried about the speed aspects. I may get Firebird now, after good Geeky reviews to see if it's any better.
Though then I'll need to get Thunderbird as well.

Eww... well, I guess you'll need T-Bird if you use the crappy freebie e-mail client, yeah.

Anyway, Firebird has every feature that Mozilla has and then some, with the extensions.  You need to install the extensions for the features you want.

AND - if you don't like the layout of the UI, you can specify your own with XUL, an XML based User-Interface Language.

Well, even their freebie mail client has better mail filtering than most others. I used to use Eudora, but it was abysmal for that, and I detest Outlook.

Spiffy about Firebird though. Will get that later on and make the switch, but I'm kind of finished doing geek things today, since I had to replace my CPU fan with a better one, then put in my swanky new FX 5600 and then sort out sound card issues. All took longer than intended, as usual!

I prefer a built-in ad blocker too, incorporated with the browser. I’m using Avant now but I think it’s a shell for IE, not a stand-alone. I’m going to try some mentioned here.
