A Short Whine, Browsers and Portals

The doctor's office called and rescheduled my appointment. Bummer! Yet, MY rescheduling has been tolerated a few times by them so this complaint can't be too loud. I changed a medication on my own a few months ago because the one taken at the time kept me groggy and grouchy. Prior permission was given to change if my response to the other medication was not good. This constant back pain and lack of energy has to go away. Somehow it seems connected. Well, losing weight will probably help the back pain quite a bit, lol! Heck, it certainly could be much worse. Enough whining.

When in a hurry Firefox is used at the beach house. Still using Chrome some and liking it more. It's hard to force myself to use Internet Explorer. IE8 seems faster and more secure, but the ability to navigate with Firefox comes natural. No doubt this is due partially to usage and prejudice.

Getting people to switch from Internet Explorer is like trying to make some folks understand that Yahoo is truly evil. You warn them, show them proof of Yahoo's certain intent to infect your machine with spyware (they call it adware and IMHO there is no difference). After warning people not to use it they will come to me with a slow computer. No quarter is ever given to a machine running Yahoo doodoo. Several users that keep up to date are telling me that their instant messenger and email are still clean. It's your computer and your roll of the dice. The beach house has not yahooed in years! So sad that greed has taken over a portal that has such potential. Get a GMail account and find another instant messenger service (there's only a gazillion of them out there). Perhaps GoogleTalk? Their voice chat is awesome.

No slack for this silly goofiness. Would you rub radioactive material on your face? Using Yahoo makes about as much sense. So, stop it! If you'd like a long list of proof they are doing this please email me and I'll gladly send you the links to various articles about the problem.
