Video TUTORIAL: How to install Firefox 3.0 and a NICE collection of ADD-ONS!

 

In this computerboom VIDEO tutorial, I explain how to install Firefox 3.0, and then I go through some RECOMENDED addons that adds LOTS of functionality to FireFox.

Firefox the free open source browser is climbing in number of users. Its now reached about 20% of the market share. I like firefox now and after using AVANT (www.avantbrowser.com) a SHELL for internet explorer for many years, I finally made the change. But when I moved I lost some of the cool features that avantbrowser had. But with the extensions I regained those functions…

Firefox ROCKS because if its extension (add on) library!!!

Get the Windows 7 Calculator in Vista

 

 

Windows Vista only: We took a liking last week to the Windows 7 calculator and its many uses for serious mathletes, as well its templates for calculating mortgages, salaries, and other real-world numbers. Now you can get that same power on your Windows Vista system, thanks to (we presume) one intrepid hacker who pulled it out of the Windows 7 preview. You can run it as a no-install app or make it your system’s default calculator, as the Daily Gyan blog explains in the via link below, but you’ll want to back up your original calculator first. The files are shared through Box.net at the moment, and may get pulled down if traffic gets heavy (or a certain development firm gets antsy); we’d appreciate any alternate links in the comments. The Windows 7 Calculator is a free download for Windows Vista systems only.
