If you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer, we recommend switching to the FireFox Browser for all your general web surfing. It is free. FireFox is
  • easy,
  • fast,
  • efficient,
  • modern,
  • more secure than Internet Explorer,
  • less a target for viruses than Internet Explorer and
  • displays web pages better than Internet Explorer.

We know these facts because we have tested our web site on many browsers and many operating systems. This recommendation comes from a person who advocates Apple products and software for other general purposes. If you are using Apple products and have Safari web browser, you already have a good browser. If you are using AOL, you already have many of these features.

From the same organization that developed FireFox, you may download free the Thunderbird E-mail program. If you get great quantities of junk email that is wasting your time, the Thunderbird email program will be a pleasure. It will

  • learn from you what you want,
  • learn from what you consider junk,
  • will surprise you at its effectiveness to automatically clear junk email from your Inbox, and
  • leave you with more time for emails from friends and family.

If you have Apple email programs, you already have an email program that performs these functions for you. If you are using AOL, you already have many of these features.

You may download both program free at www.mozilla.com/products/. Your enjoyment of the web and email will go up. These programs are also more secure and less the target of viruses than Microsoft products.
