how many times have you foolishly gestured IE?
wink

Wanna know how much that's irked me? I'll be on IE, do a rt.-click up or left, realize that I'm dealing with old faded "tech", copy the web addy, close IE, and then start the real browser baby!
I'm not even joking: EVERY single person I've given a FF tour to has been blown away. And once they use it for a few days/week they ALWAYS see the light.
Of course a fundamental feature is tabs. I've never seen a good case against the MDI browser. These (hate to start the pissing contest..well, kinda ;-)) Microshills have always tried to make the case that it's easier/more efficient to click taskbar buttons over tabs to switch pages. Little have they realized how gesture tab switching (rt.-click up, left/right) is even faster than click tab switching, let alone the sorriest sloe-est way to do it, taskbar button clicking. Oh, almost forgot, one I've been using a lot more lately: ctrl-1,2,3,etc. Keep your thumb on ctrl and then just hit a number. You'll go to that number tab. This works GREAT for when you're doing a lot of copy/pasting between pages/documents. Bestest: alt-tab btwn programs and FF, and then use ctrl-# to navigate pages. You'll feel more glow than the Shogun of Harlem! Let alone the geeky Bruce Lee wannabe, Bruce Leroy. Bruce Leroy?! Yes, Leroy Green!

"When ya got that glow, you really will know, when you got that glow..:
