Karen Writes

I am not sure, but I do believe this particular Karen is my cousin. She is the one that informed about Google many, many years ago when I was still technologically innocent. About every fifteenth time I use Google, I think of her with gratitude. Here is her comment "Hear, hear! I LOVE Google! " For the rest of you who may think Bing has something special, just let me share that if you use FireFox, there are so many plugins available that make Google an even better experience. Two that I can think of off the cuff are "Surf Canyon" and "Customize Google". One will give you expanded explanations of the site, so you can preview before you click and others will provide a thumbnail of the site for a quick preview. Surf Canyon offers alternative sites to each site listed. Very useful.

FireFox 3 - The Best Yet

Firefox 3 has been set loose and it is an awesome experience. Many of may add-ons are currently disabled due to the upgrade, but expectations are they will catch up soon. In the meanwhile, I found a new extension that I have used to replace my former home page. It is called Fast Dial. It creates 12 blocks that you can make into quick and easy bookmarks for websites you use repeatedly. It takes a screen shot of each website and puts it in the box for a quick visual. You can name it at the bottom. FireFox 3 here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html Fast Dial Add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721
