Some advice to help my fellow internet slot-car buddies:

In an effort to control my junk email, I've dumped MS Outlook and installed Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7. Check it out here. You can import all your settings and email from Outlook painlessly and it handles POP and IMAP which I use. Best of all it has adaptive Junk email filters that learn to identify and get rid of all the junk email.

Outlook couldn't do that with IMAP and their POP filters were a pain to use.

I'm using the Mozilla Firefox web browser too. Works very well.

Thanks Wankel Ickx for the recommendation.

That tip was a freebie.

The next one costs!

Everybody should get rid of Outlook and IE. Besides other browsers (Netscape, Mozilla and Opera) having really good junk mail controls they also do not have the security holes that Outlook and IE have. Almost every virus out there exploits MS's security holes.

I just wrote several "Rules" in Outlook and all Spam was sent to my Deleted Items box.

Here's another reason to use Mozilla Firefox. Source: BBC Friday, 25 June, 2004, 15:47 GMT 16:47 UK

Been using Netscape for years, I can not stand MS IE, what a joke.

The new Netsacpe 7.1 has spam blockers and uses much of the Mozilla software against spam. Don't need my spam blocker now at all. Such bliss.

Update - Check it out guys

 

[BEEJAY7]

Well I took your advice and installed.

Very, very good, much better than Explorer and I haven,t had a pop up since.

It does run a little slower than Explorer, on my PC, and scrolling seems slower, but a great product.

Thanks for the tip Guys.

I have also installed it today, I have found the same as Beejay in that it loads slower and scolls slower but all in all quite good.
