"img ibm" will google search for ibm images

"dict ibm" will go to dictionary.com and return results for ibm

I updated my first post and added links to keyboard and mouse shortcuts for Firebird & Thunderbird.

For even more laziness, add more search engines in the search bar. I've added sharereactor.com, dictionary.com, and the astalavista search engine.

Click Here to add a search engine or you can select the "Add engines" from the search bar.

deepspring · 29th October 2003, 2:32 PM

Hari · 29th October 2003, 2:35 PM

SchRAMBO · 29th October 2003, 3:22 PM

Force · 29th October 2003, 4:48 PM

And because drop shadows are cool

I find it funny that MS still can not manage to implement proper PNG support in IE even though it’s all ready up to version six.

nexx · 29th October 2003, 5:48 PM

yes, and it pisses me off, so many sites (including mine) could look so much better if ie support png's properly as well as many of CSS things

deepspring · 29th October 2003, 6:15 PM

One of the many reasons why I avoid using IE all togethor (except for windows update :/), is because of its poor level of support for PNG files (which I use over JPG and GIF files in designs)...

I also avoid using it because of the many, supposedly patched, security flaws in it's WSH abilities.

MS would have done a better job to include an update client simular to Symantec's LiveUpdate, than to interface IE with a OS level scripting language interface.

Yep that would have been a lot better.

Turbo boost ur firebird start up:

On your firebird short cut add prefix
/prefetch:1

Now firebird loads as fast as IE
