A NEW BROWSER

Today's Internet Tip:

There is another browser around that we have never tried before. It is called IE Opera. Well,it WAS called IE Opera. To avoid conflicts with opera, its name was changed to Gorilla. And perhaps by the time you receive this tip, its name will have changed again. But....

Gorilla (formerly IE Opera) offers a multiple document interface(MDI) and offers built-in Google searching,privacy options, and ease of use.

IE Opera is very similar to Microsoft Internet Explorer and is fully compatabile with the Microsoft Browser.

Gorilla(formerly IE Opera) is freeware and you can download a copy at the IE Opera site.

READER TIP:

By passing Start up Programs on boot up:

There may be a number of applications which add themselves to the "Start up" of your computer.This means that they all launch and stay in the background when you boot your computer. If you wish to boot your computer without any programs running aside from the operating system, just hold down the SHIFT KEY as the computer finishes booting, all programs within the Start Up will be bypassed.
