I can haz PC

[pbray]

Desktop is back home, cleaned, scrubbed, disinfected. New antivirus, antispyware and firewall software. All of my personal files seem to be on here, which is much goodness, but somehow in the process of fixing Windows XP I got a special bonus--an upgrade to Internet Explorer Version 7. Sigh.

And, of course, it took me over half an hour to get everything recabled up correctly. Nothing like working in tight spaces and trying to plug in cords blindly because things don't quite stretch far enough.

Ah well. All things considered, life is good.

Firefox looks good so it's just a question of downloading it-- I have a version that's 2-3 years old that I played around with for a while, but need to get the new one.

The new one feels a little faster to me (too slow was the reason I didn't take to the earlier version of Firefox). Plus, Almost all sites are Firefox friendly these days.

Also, it will save your tabs for you, which can be really useful.

Yes. At first I thought, "Who cares about that?" but then the day came when I was on a website that I knew I needed to visit again, just not often enough to bookmark, and I said to myself, "Self, let's ask it to save the tabs." And Lo, it was so, such that on the following evening, when I turned on my computer and did launch Firefox, verily were my tabs even as they had been when I shut down.

I've been using it to keep on hand half a dozen separate but interrelated pages explaining the technical submission requirements for getting a journal accepted into the PubMedCentral database, because I don't think I could necessarily find all of them again unaided :P

That's similar to the situation I was in, except that I was keeping track of the medical journals for the articles...
