Join the dark side, get Firefox With Adblock and No Script41south wrote:Brent - welcome to the world of MX5 owners.
Regarding the Kapiti MX5 chapter website;
I have to say that as an IT security guy I really hate websites that try to install software on your PC when you enter them, which is what happened when I just tried that Kapiti MX5 site. It's not a nice introduction IMHO.
It just took me at least 10 clicks to get rid of all the pop-ups and advert rubbish. I won't be going back there again

Yeah the bookmarks use a 3rd party server but it gets synced everyday... for the less technical inclined it's a good option
Gotta love gmail... can't live without it... and it doesn't hurt that it's also a 2gb storage drive
Download status bar... instead of the download manager in FF it's a small bar on the status bar on the bottom... But after having gotten the Free D/L manager and Flashgot I don't use it any more...
I also have foxclock so I don't mix up time zones... Handy
