Installed a new Add On to my FireFox Browser. It's called Context Search and what it does is allow you to highlight text, then right click and use any of the search engines that you currently have installed, opening the results in a new tab. Incredibly handy. Get it here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/240 |

I'll have to look into that. I switched to firefox on our new laptop couple months ago, I think I like it more than IE. Wifey won't use it though. I saw the new google Chrome out too, wonder how well it works. |

I've been using Firefox for quite a while. I hate when I get on a system that only has IE available, usually end up downloading the portable version of Firefox to use while while I'm on it. |

It does, but Safari is my backup. My default browser is Firefox. I'm running Leopard (soon to be running snow leopard!). I like the themes available in FireFox better too. I'm currently using a Chicago White Sox theme but that's going to change real soon. |

I'm using Google chrome and I like how it works. My son installed it or I would not have even know it existed.

I was going to say, if you were using it, you're the only Mac user I know who does. |

The biggest change that I'm looking forward to is the HDTV support for my Mac Mini Home Theater setups! several other small changes that I'm interested in. Upgrading them all, just to make things simpler. |

It snowed today. 
Snow Leopard is faster and uses less HD space. Check your space after upgrading to see how much you gained. I'm still debating the Dock. the stacks have sub-stacks and the updated QuickTime. Apple adjusted the colors on the displays and I like the ability to add day and date to the menu bar clock. Overall, it is an improvement. |
