And Firefox for everything else. For one thing, that means I have to plan to get to the bank account, dig out my password, and input it deliberately.

I'm past the days when I want to jump through hoops to get stuff done - it's hard enough to get it done as it is.

Tomorrow while we're waiting for a tech to come replace one of our "cable" (PrismTV) boxes, my husband has to help me pull my computer out of its corner, blow out the dust and accumulated crud, replace the hard drive that is getting noisy and sluggish, put it back, and then trade out my massive wide format Epson printer/scanner whose heads are so clogged I can't clear them out for the new one he bought today.

All that just so I can keep on with my main project of scanning on old family documents and photos, sorting and organizing them, and getting the pictures posted online.
