----------------------------------- Martin Mon Aug 09, 2004 7:07 pm New laptop ----------------------------------- My friend just got a new laptop, so what's the first thing he did? Added functionality in the form of toolbars, of course! Why bother having to navigate to other websites, when everything is just a mouse click away? And now, here you have it. Internet Explorer with more bling than Tupac on trampoline: http://home.cogeco.ca/~zachshowers/toolbar.png ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Aug 09, 2004 7:52 pm ----------------------------------- wow, IE is unstable enogth on it's own i could not image how much that will crash, lag and do other evil things. heh, more toolbars then there is web site on that thing. ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:06 pm ----------------------------------- Only useful one there is Google Bar, the rest are all crap...what a wast. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:09 pm ----------------------------------- Hah, it's beautiful. Oh yeah, the next step in fixing up his computer was to format and install XP Pro. This guy is brilliant (dan, say nothing) when it comes to computers, he was just having some fun. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:58 pm ----------------------------------- omg... the worst bar (he hasn't got it) is the blue one, it is sometimes named grllhclcr or something, other times its called "multi book exit" anyway, its hard to get rid of... ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Aug 10, 2004 6:41 pm ----------------------------------- dan, say nothing Dam it, i so wanted to. Any how at least he formated windows, now he just has to pop in a linux cd and he is on his way. On the subject of toolbars, i like the way firefox did the Google sreach bar. You can just add all the difrent sreach engions to the same bar with out using up 1/2 your screen. ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Aug 10, 2004 7:32 pm ----------------------------------- ya but it doesn't tell you google page rank and etc :wink: which i think compsc is 4 or 5 or maybe higer (out of 10) ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Aug 10, 2004 7:37 pm ----------------------------------- What good is page rank? If you like a page, good. If you don't, ok. Do you need to know what other people think of it? I like the firefox one, though I mainly just use the hyperdictionary thing. For google I'm just so accustomed to opening a new tab and going to google.com ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Aug 10, 2004 8:38 pm ----------------------------------- ah i just type google [keyword] ... im just used to it :D ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Aug 11, 2004 11:13 am ----------------------------------- Some of the stuff in there is pretty funny. 'Alert! New Bin Laden virus!' ----------------------------------- templest Sat Aug 14, 2004 8:25 pm ----------------------------------- hah... talk about contrasting, this is what my browser looks like: http://xiplst.uni.cc/moz.JPG I use keyboard shortcuts instead of having all those useless buttons on the screen. ;) ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Aug 19, 2004 5:34 pm ----------------------------------- ya but it doesn't tell you google page rank and etc :wink: which i think compsc is 4 or 5 or maybe higer (out of 10) You know, there is a full-featured "[url=http://googlebar.mozdev.org/]Googlebar" for Firefox if you don't find the included search box powerful enough. ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Aug 19, 2004 6:29 pm ----------------------------------- yup i got that it's pretty good *but it doesn't have page rank :D* ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Aug 19, 2004 9:34 pm ----------------------------------- Amailer's vanity prompts him to check the rank of his own webpage everyday. What would not be a useful tool for u, is a useful tool for him :lol:
