    That's one reason I haven't pick it up yet. I'd wait a day or two. The FTP site and the mirrors are having trouble keeping up.

    Well, by 5pm CST (-6GMT) it was downloadable again. Got it. Installed it. Looks good. I had one issue with scrollbars (they disappeared on me) but switching themes fixed that.

    Nope...

    Is it possible to completely remove IE from windows ? Or should I just delete all IE icons and set FireFox as my standard browser ?

    btw - does this site render good for all of you?: http://www.ziptron.dk/viewpage.asp?page=default

    Cheers!

    Active Desktop ? *Shiver* I've had bad experiences with that from Win9X - not gonna make the same mistake in XP .

    By the way, what did you think about the design on my page?

    Looks nice...may want to make a bit more white spacing on the left and right side of all the text. It is not much there, and the lines are getting long....

    If you have problems with scroll bars, make sure you're using the Firefox default theme. Noncompatible old themes seem to break it.

    Hehe, I use NotePlus(my own text editor, no different from notepad really).

    But I can't figure it out, it's aligned in IE, but it's screwed in FireFox
