Now <u>that</u> is information technology I can use.</p> <div class="signature">garym: <a href="http://www.teledyn.com">ict evangelist</a> - <a href="http://justus.teledyn.com/" title="Just Us">musician</a> - <a href="http://blog.teledyn.com/" title="Have blog, will travel">whatever</a></div> Tue, 07 Feb 2006 17:51:58 -0500 garym comment 730 at http://sbp.teledyn.com http://sbp.teledyn.com/node/572 <p><img src="http://www.firefox.com/title.gif" /> Well, thats the question.Has anyone tried an alternative to their /corporate/ supplied browser? Have you given Firefox a chance? Well, just in case you have and liked it, (if you didn't, ahh well....)or want to but arent sure, firefox is available in /portable / mode. Thats right, just download it(its open source and free) and put it on your Ipod, your memory stick/portable USB drive, and bring your bookmarks with you wherever you go..and leave not a trace.Have a look over <a href="http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_firefox/ "> HERE </a> and give it a try...</p> http://sbp.teledyn.com/node/572#comments Internet Sun, 27 Nov 2005 20:22:11 -0500 bub 572 at http://sbp.teledyn.com
