If you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 as your browser, please be aware that there is a MAJOR security hole just discovered that can allow code to be loaded onto your computer from malicious websites. That code can then gain administrator privilege to your computer. MS has yet to release a patch.

Get Firefox!

+1 on Firefox!

Been using it for years and it still pisses me off when some of the "secure" websites will only accept IE.
