Title: First steps

MSIE5 made my computer crash, I had to reinstall everything. It wouldn't even let me uninstall the software that was causing the problem- it only gave me the option of reinstalling ie5. So I said screw it, and had some fun playing in the windows registry, you can do some freaky shit in there. But anyway, when I restored the system, I set it up so I can dual boot it when I get a linux cd. (Having trouble finding a local retailer that sells it in hickstown) I am downloading mozilla right now as we speak, and currently, the only thing on my desktop that has the words microsoft on is the Microsoft works program, and I see "Microsoft Windows 95" everytime I start up, but I'm working on that.

An update on the situation, I'm free of the bloated macrosloth internet crawler. Mozilla seems a lot more stable so far, but for some reason, and this could be one of my dellusions, like the time I dreamt that bill gates tried to take over my computer, it looks a lot like netscape navigator.

It's basicly a open source version of netscape, but over time it's had more features added and changes made, in my opinion its a much better browser.
