2. My mouse and IE7 don't get along.
For some reason when I scroll with my wheel, it just won't stop!

It gets pretty damn annoying.

7. I haven't had any probs with IE7
& I have dial-up.

For me it's faster, but it looks like playschool.

10. "lagging like a bitch"
:rofl:

I am cracking up. I know this thread wasn't intended to be funny, but that is hysterical.

Is the screaming about firefox good screaming or bad screaming?

11. Yeah I've heard about people having random problems with it
It seems to have the potential of screwing up various things based on my coworker's experiences with it. I've told them to uninstall it and that usually reverts their system back to better times.

12. Too late... However, I haven't had any problems yet
It would be hard to notice any slowdowns, anyway, my ancient and clogged-up Dell laptop has raised lagging to an artform...

15. No problem...
...I'm on a Mac. Microsloth stopped developing IE for Mac after v.5, so to hell with them!! I'm surfing merrily along on Safari, thank you very much!
