Would you please be kind enough to give me a basic chili recipe? I
know it's probably OT, but I can't imagine Googling or asking in a
cooking forum. Too much trouble. I know you've probably had some
chili in the past.

Of old, Dallas has resisted direction to post his OT issues in a more
appropriate group; in his book, if it's something that happens on his XP
computer, it's de factor on-topic. Get ready for a verbal counter-attack.

That, along with his hair-trigger and inability and/or lack of desire to
proof-read ("ye yext"??) are why I plonked him long ago.

wow, i just can't get a decent browser !

now the firefox is messing up sites. i use yahoo as i play fantasy
baseball, & i use their email client for all baseball related issues. never
had any trouble, but now, i do. some pages take forever to reload, or they
go to blank with this error message:" A script on this page has been stopped
due to a low memory condition."
i never went thru that w/ ie, or maxthon, but they can't access my bank
site.

also, i imported the bookmarks from ie, but that got my faves all messed up
& can't even access them all on firefox.

anyone use safari -haws that & can you suggest any others ?

thanks for your time

Why don't you ask in a safari newsgroup/forum?

: no safari users ?

because i wanted to ask it here, just like so many others that ask questions
that are not directly related, yet you never say a sarcastic word to them. i
see queries re: printing email, bad business practices, fonts, etc., which i
think are all fine, yet not a peep from you. i mean, if someone here knows
the answers & it helps someone out, what's the problem ? It's pc people
helping pc people, not nuclear research.

so if you have such a problem with mine, don't open them - seems easy
enough! no one seems to be forcing you to open mine.

lastly, don't pc's use browsers ? & it was a general question at that from
the get go

lighten up tom - it should be people helping people, yet you seem kinda
cranky over it.

oh well, have a good evening anyway
