I was getting nagged that my IE was outdated, and that I should download
the
newest greatest Google Chrome, which I finally did. Now, it must not have
gone in, as I still get the nag message. I'm not fond of it, as it takes
me
to BING on a lot of things, and I hate BING.

I need a little help understanding this. I hear all sorts of bad things
about Google, and IE, and such. I seem not to have all these problems, tho
I am not fond of some things my computer does, like: taking me to Bing,
where it is impossible to find the article you went there for; taking a
long
time up to forever to download some stories and videos, redirecting, etc.

Will downloading Firefox improve my computer life? Do I have to uninstall
IE, and will my computer allow itself to be castrated thusly? Is there a
lot of configuring to do afterward? Do I have to get rid of OE, and
download a new news program, or does the installation of Firefox fix all
that? I am somewhat handy on computers, but not sure about setting the
things behind the curtain.

Advice appreciated on selecting a browser, news reader, and general
computer
setup to make my computing life a little smoother.

Thanks.

Steve

What is the reason you don't ask your computer related questions in a
forum that has nothing but computer geeks / computer experts in it?

This is the best forum I know of:

http://forums.majorgeeks.com/

Uh, I don't know. Â*Why do you talk politics here?

Because there are so few machining threads and it's one way to keep
this group alive.

Or kill it.
