On the browser discussion a few day, Firefox 3 is much too unstable for me, I use google chrome mainly for that reason. It crashes sometimes but FF3 can sometimes crash more than 20-30 times a week, which is really annoying. Chrome is probably on average the slowest browser I've used for opening pages simply because it only has a 60-70% success rate, the other 30% it will get stuck on 'connecting' or 'resolving proxy' and you will have to hit F5, something I can't get firefox or ie to replicate, at least not nearly as often. However, I have no bugs with how big posts will fit on the screen that I notice.

I currently use FF 3.5 and ie8 and I usually get my crashes on ie8. I know for many pages ie8 would take a full 30 seconds before finally being able to open the page (connection with cable with 10 Mbps).
With FF8 I never wait more than 5 seconds for a page to load.

Firefox 3.5.3, works well. Rarely crashes. Chrome, I don't think its crashed once. IE8, runs a heck of a lot better on 7, then it did XP! Go figure though LOL! I think it was designed with vista/7 in mind. However I don't run IE8. Haven't ran it since beta release. I do recall liking certain abilities that NO other browser has offered :O

Good point actually, ie8 in Win7 is tolerable, in XP it's damn useless.

Mac OS, the fanboy's OS of choice. Ugh.
Win7 or linux, hands down.
I'm rebuilding my old Athlon 2800 tomorrow, it's going to be Solaris for now.
I'm debating whether to put 9 on as it's dead easy to use and i know how it all works but might go for 10 instead as there's new stuff in there that i haven't seen yet. Only thing i'm concerned about is that due to being out of work i'm not sure that i'll get as much out of it as if i was in a job and using it in anger so to speak.
Think i'd best go for 10, at the very least i can see what the ZFS filesystem is all about. Decisions decisions. Tearing my hair out due to the crap jobmarket, trying to keep the brain cells occupied, it annoys me to think a few greedy people caused the economy to fail with no concept of how many people it's affected.
