Sorry about the double post. but this time I'm comparing IE 8 vs FF 3.0.10 FF 3.0.10 IE 8

I recently updated to IE 8 since I have a new computer and I haven't encountered any problems yet.. I use Firefox most of the time. I mean, all the time.

I get the advertised speeds from my ISP "20/5" I pay $38 mo cause its part of my TV/INTERNET service package deal

My first day with Fios!! -Edited to show the 100mb test.

Can't go wrong with either brand. I'm amazed of how well this phone works. The price is just right for the functionality and the features it has..

Thanks to those that contributed with their comments. I made a decision and bought a VTECH DECT 6.0 phone http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8743407&type=product&id=1207351386904 Its the best phone I have ever owned. It gives me 8 hrs of talk time and there's minimal to no interference from other electronics. I can be in any part of my property and I don't have to worry about switching channels, great reception all around. There might be better phones out there, but so far this is my favorite.

Craigs List!! Oh yes. That my personal choice for shopping nowadays. I couldn't find one in my area. I'm willing to travel 50 miles to get it if I could find it. Thanks. Thats nice info, I appreciate it! I just wish I could find some of those in my area. I will only order from companies such as Sony etc...

The keys wore out, couldn't dial anymore.. It finally broke after countless drops when taken outside on the driveway. I found it on e-bay. but I have no experience with e-bay and don't trust it much from the negative comments I read around... My latest one goes through batteries too quick.

Thats amazing! Nice joke about the wife, But they can also send them to me, as I can be on the phone for hours upon hours. lol' I wish I could find my old Uniden, in 9 years I replaced the batteries twice.

Wow!! Thanks Coknuck! I bet they don't sell that phone at retail stores. Thats the type of phone I like.

Same here, Every phone I've owned for the past 9 years has been a Uniden. I recently retired my old 7hr talk time 900Mhz phone and revived with new batteries my old 5.8 Ghz phone that after a few months the batteries will last 2 minutes after a full charge (over night) I been looking for a similar phone that will last at least a few hours of talk time, but since all newer phones have so many bells and whistles they consume energy very fast. I'm looking in to the new Uniden Dect6 phones, I hear that they are great. But I'm mostly concerned about battery life as mentioned on OP. Thanks for the info mudmanc4. I will check that phone out...

Hello! I need to buy a new land/house telephone preferably a DECT 6.0 phone. Does anyone on here currently have one? If you do please share some info on the pros and cons and why you still have it or not. Features are not that important. What I care mostly is about battery life and how long a full charge will give me of talk time and also while being on stand by away from the charger/base. I need a set of two. with or without answering machine. Thanks in advance.

Four years ago i paid $3000 at best buy, It was a top of the line computer, Well so i thought it was cause the Geek squad told me so ha ha What a joke!!. Nowadays i can pay $600 and get a better computer than what i have, Of course without the upgrades i have made.. I'm willing to pay up to $2000 now that I'm familiar with computers. But it has to have everything to make it powerful for video. I'm looking in to Dell's or just putting together my own, making it expandable to 4 gigs of ram with dual core processors and the fastest video cards available I have never built one before so i might end up buying one that has everything i need.

Sadly i got a 1.0 Because i seriously need to upgrade and my computer is upgraded to the maximum 1gig of ram, video card is a joke and it would be easier on my pocket if i just buy a new computer. Any recommendations since all i have used is a Sony Vaio?????

Agreed.

True. But i don't do that too often. With the protection i have i don't worry any longer. I can go anywhere knowing that i will be protected without being infected.

I learned the hard way with Norton... Never again. Actually he didn't. I found many corrupted and apps that were infected. Both is wife and him use the computer and i found no porn at all. He has never had good virus protection. He had Norton and Outpost. :haha: You're funny. He's a Doctor. Who knows. :haha:
