I thought a browser meant Google.

Hey, that's a perfectly reasonable assumption. Google BROWSES through the internets.

:shrug: <---I kind of wish the face on this shruggy wasn't quite so pathetic. I'm a technical retard, but not wretched.

1. I was talking to my buddy the other day and he asked me ...
"Have you heard about that new search engine, FoxFire?"

I am NOT kidding you. The two of you ought to get together. :)

7. I thought FoxFire was a book by Joyce Carol Oates, or a book series
about Appalachian life or something to do with small arsonist canids....or something like that......

Seriously, what the heck is foxFire? It sounds pretty.

4. No, I am!
Cancelling my cell phone after 5 years, plus.... my CPU has a 500hz (or whatever the designation is) Celeron processor, 64 MB RAM, and I am on dialup!

I resist technological progress at every turn. :P

8. oh please, look at you tossing about tech language like that! Like a pro
or something!

Don't come begging to me for Software Softheartedness....

what the hell is a CPU?
500hz's? How do they fit that many hz thingies in it? They must be pretty small.

Celeron? Sounds like a vegetable.
