Better let them iron out the bugs before jumping on board?
I have done so much with so little for so long that today I can do almost anything with absolutely nothing.

Well - I'm about ready to try it.  I have to restart Firefox about every 20 minutes to keep it running.  I know it is likely because I want to run about 30 tabs -- IE crashes as soon as I open them up but---- that's not the point.   I want to do it my way and I want it to work. [crz]

After the trouble I had with IE I am ready for something new. If it will work with all of my antique hardware that is, probably won't.

I don't like most things that are brand new, untried, unproven models, especially software.
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

I wouldn't touch this browser with a ten foot pole.  Google does enough data mining without opening the door to your system for them.

I thought about that, Daddymem, but then I got to thinking I was just being paranoid. ::)
