Advice, please Reka. I'm now using Firefox 1.5.0.3, having used earlier
versions, as well as the ubiquotous IE.

The present version doesn't seem to have the usual right click option for
"Download target as" when pointing at the hyperlink to a downloadable file. eg
It's very frustrating to have to wait for a pdf file to open in Acrobat Reader,
& then save. Is there a setting I've missed?

Get FireFox 2.001 - I also rebuilt my system in the last week. So we
have the new version. I am still not used to tabs. My setup still
gives me the new entry in the task bar for another open FireFox but it
is just a tab. Once I got used to seeing the small red xboxes I have
had no trouble with tabs.

Dave I have FireFox open the pdfs and save there. But it was an
add-on and even though I did it yesterday I don't remember where the
initial "do it this way" idea came from. I also have adobe reader and
things used to go there while FireFox was free to do something else.
Now it I click back a tab - I can go back to the page I was working
and even open a second pdf tab. Working with a series of 8 last
night I found that starting the next in sequence was just enough time
for the first to be ready to be ready for the save to location. Close
that tab, open the 3rd in sequence (new pdf tab) and save the second.
Kept me busy and occupied just enough to run thru it rather quickly.

Has anyone got a good small contact/calendar program? My Palm went 6
months ago and I find that the palm desktop is good. But I was looking
for something different. The Lightening and SunBird programs that
Mozilla puts out want the entire desktop for calendar display. I want
one I can have open in the corner. It only needs to be able to
display ticks for the events without opening the day.
