Money Saving Tech Tips & Philosophic Musings: FireFoxed

FTC Disclosure

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't whether I got it free or NOT!

FireFoxed

Once again I create a new use making a noun a verb. I have gone over to FireFox. I felt like a rebel until I read an article that said FireFox just pulled ahead of IE in number of users. So goes my sense of rebellion. I have found that some main stream commercial sites don’t like FireFox. You discover this when you try and fill out a form and it won’t let you do that. So I open IE and the form works fine. One wonders what ostrich has it’s head buried in the sand in these supposed main stream sites that they haven’t noticed that folks are disgruntled with IE. I am not a mindless MS Basher. I just get frustrated when I was automatically updated to IE8 and some of my stuff stopped working. Plus IE8 was slowwww! So even though the linked article above suggests that IE will pull back ahead of FoxFire, I have come to the realization I’m not a rebel, using FireFox just makes sense.

Some of The Books I Have Written

Who am I?

I often wonder who am I. Am I a retired computer guy with 30 years of experience in microcomputers, a retired school teacher and counselor with 10 years of experience in the schools, an innovative baloney slicer who had the first video vending machine in Pennsylvania? Am I a father or grandfather? The role you chose to play is the one you are at the time of the show. Some roles overlap and are played simultaneously. Some roles are never to be repeated. I am someone who cares about the people around me, who wants to improve the society we all live in, who hopes on a daily basis to leave the planet a little better than it was the previous day and who is cognizant that the impact I have on the world is minimal. Tilting at windmills is a part of my character as is a deep love for all those who need to be loved. In my own mind I am a complex, oniony (multi-layered), unique character in the kaleidoscoping drama of life.
