Thanks for another fine review of this week's best chuckles, James. But there is a growing problem. I use Firefox, and a growing number of stories including a host of the hottest ones for the past week crash the browser every single time I open them. I sure hope something can be done about this. I'd like to comment on some of them.

  I'm running Firefox as well, sometimes I have slow load times and every once in a while I'll lose my post (especially if it's a really long one) but for the most part no problem.

    Thanks for that input, tchef. I'll check other possibilities like McAfee or my pop-up blocker. Been reporting the crashes to Mozilla as well. Hopefully they will figure out what's up and take corrective action.

      I'm run Mac at home and windows at work both with firefox. On my windows computer I'm using AVG free virus software. It's been working really well and doesn't seem to give me any problems with my browsers.

  Personally, I think it's the Propeller site -- whether I'm using Explorer or even Netscape!!!, it is often unbearably slow or just won't function at all.
  It's the main reason I spend so little time here anymore. It's just too aggravating to navigate.

    (almost 30 seconds from hitting the submit button to being posted -- I feel like I'm using an Apple II again.

        thanks, alpha -- it seems to be better, but still not great.
        Maybe it's Vista.

        I have a sneaky suspicion that it is an issue with Propeller's servers. All other websites work fine. It is just Propeller's site.
        It is either short on servers, short on quality server software (may be they are using Windows, instead of Linux) or it could be the case of Propeller being a second-class citizen in the AOL's arrogant hierarchy. This arrogance has been a prime cause of AOL's downfall. Everything that AOL has touched has turned into a trash pile. Steve Case's under-qualified and over-hyped style of management apparently lives on for yet another disaster!
        Why did it have to be Netscape, the proud pioneer who did so much for the world? They brought the joy of Internet to literally billions and made World wide Web the engine for delivery of knowledge and commerce. Now they are stuck with a third-rate owner who doesn't know anything about anything! It is like a shotgun marriage with a loser.
        I feel for Netscape!
