Thanks for the heads-up on Firefox 3 beta 3, downloaded last night. I'm on sloooow dial-up and it didn't appear to help too much last night, but today it's smoking compared to usual.
I don't know what you guys use for email but Mozilla offers Firefox as a web browser and also offers Thunderbird as an email program. You can get Thunderbird here. Thunderbird - Reclaim your inbox
I've used both for a loooong time and have told MS to take a hike.
For those of you brave enough to venture into the world of Beta releases, Firefox now has FF version 3 Beta 4 out. You can get it here. Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 4 Release Notes
