Switching to Firefox web browser...

I recently "upgraded" from Internet Explorer 6 to their newly released vs 7. My first impression was a positive one (the tabs feature, the "shrink to fit" mode for printing web pages), and its generally clean look. My second impression was that things had definitely slowed down. It appears their anti-phishing scheme is using a lot of overhead, as are their other security upgrades.

That having been experienced, on the advice of a friend, I downloaded and tested the new Mozilla Firefox vs 2.0 browser on my notebook pc. I was so impressed with it we put it on the desktop. There were some "plug in" issues that were easily resolved, and I'm now a dedicated Firefox enthusiast. It's sleek, it's fast and it's secure. What's not to love?

Our 2006 camping season is over......

Last weekend we enjoyed five days at Travelers Woods of NE in Bernardson Ma (this was the Columbus Day weekend) and that marked our official close-out of our 2006 camping year. Very much like hauling the boat, the unpacking and winterizing of the motor home is a sad affair as we've had a GREAT Spring, Summer and Autumn with her. Photo's from this last campout have been linked from our Seaport Sams website, but here is a direct link to the album: http://rpayette.netfirms.com/travelerswoods2006/
