In my line of work, as a Wenatchee realtor, I spend a lot of time online... and I mean a lot.  All three of my real estate MLS systems are internet based and I spend a tremendous amount of time doing input and property searches.  I have struggled for the last several months with Internet Explorer being so slow it was making me crazy.  It was, quite literally, slower than a dial-up connection.  I figured it was my computer being bogged down, but I diligently do disk cleans and defrags nearly every day.  Lately,  I resorted to using AOL (through the high speed connection) as my primary browser.   It was far better than Internet Explorer, but...

Today, I finally took the plunge and downloaded Firefox to see if that would make a difference.   It made an immediate and dramatic difference!  I will never go back to Internet Explorer and I am slapping myself for not making the switch sooner. 

Firefox has been recommended to me, but a very small percentage of computer users actually use it.  What I discovered is the ones who ARE using it are the more technologically advanced computer users.   Firefox is touted to be faster, have better pop-up blocking, be more secure... blah, blah, blah.     And it is!

The only problem with Firefox is that it isn't compatible with my blog posting software, so I have to go back to AOL to do postings to any of my blogs.

Despite the fact I'm on high speed internet through Charter, I have always maintained an AOL account because it is so easy to access and use when I travel.  I never have any problems, no matter where I go.   Plus, it's been an excellent back-up system. 

If any of you out there are struggling with Internet Explorer, I highly recommendFirefox!
