No more Internet Explorer - Alex Cameron (28th Jun 2004 - 10:26:28) If, you're tired of things like this: BBC - Web browser flaw prompts warning (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3840101.stm) ...you don't have to use Internet Explorer to browse the internet. For those that don't know, there are alternatives you can use to keep your computer safe and have a better experience in general when browsing the web. Not sure what everyone else is using but i personally swap between: Opera 7.51 (www.opera.com) Mozilla 1.7 (www.mozilla.org) and the king: Mozilla Firefox (www.mozilla.org/products/firefox)

Re: No more Internet Explorer - Mark (2nd Jul 2004 - 07:53:26) go the whole hog and get rid of Microsoft! Install Linux

Re: No more Internet Explorer - Alex Cameron (2nd Jul 2004 - 09:49:56) I couldn't agree more about Linux - for the seasoned XP user i'd recommend the excellent Mandrake 10 (www.mandrake.com) or my dad's favourite, PCLinuxOS (http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/). And lets kill the desktop argument right here - its KDE 3 all the way. I reckon we should start a 'Why and how to switch to linux' thread.
