I have to admit total ignorance about PlanetQuake. I looked, and to my eyes it sorta feels like "Classic Gaming". (A couple of years ago I was into Mame32 a little bit, just amazed that Atari vector games were out there). On RSS, I'm 49 now and all the acronyms are blurring. The only RSS I have set up is here, from the Freep. It's not a case of laziness, but it's not something I think to even use since I have to hit the main page and check posts to me anyway. I suppose I look at Yahoo's offering of RSS the same way, since I go there and check mail, etc.
As for a link from Yahoo, let's see if this will work:
It's easy to find content to add to your page. Use the find box, browse by topic, see what's popular, or explore editors' picks and sources in the spotlight.

Search by topic or provider. (ex: Yankees, cooking, USA Today)
Okay, that works fairly well in preview, using Firefox to copy the source. I got that by selecting "Add Content" on the "My Yahoo" page. It's still Greek to me, admittedly. (There's supposed to be a box to enter your data there). When they finally get around to setting up T-bird where you can save mail as .eml as the default, since I'm an OE user, (though open to alternatives) then perhaps they'll have won me over. At least they finally got away with 2 sets of trash cans and Sent Items, etc. Mozilla sometimes has an illogical way of doing things, my biggest peeve being images associated with the Downloads box. |

Soon you will be able to login to your personal virtual PC from any Internet access point. The Network Computer, or a little different take on it. Hasn't flown yet, but things change.

Maxthon Internet Browser software is a powerful tabbed browser with a highly customizable interface. It is based on the Internet Explorer browser engine (your most likely current web browser) which means that what works in the IE browser will work the same in Maxthon tabbed browser but with many additional efficient features like...

Why, why must it crash every single time I open a PDF? Because you didn't install it correctly. I have never had this problem.
Really, most writers endeavor to conceal rather than advertise their ineptitude in their field of alleged expertise.

If IE 7.0 is as closely immersed in the OS as previous versions are, then the same basic problem with IE will still exist. The browser is allowed to do too many things; too many dangerous things. Yeah -- it's as if you installed one of those combination-lock keypads on your front door, and then added all sorts of doo-dads that let you use the same keypad to make phone calls through the intercom, control the house lighting and appliances, etc... and then were all surprised when jokers figured out how to use the system to fiddle with your lights and making calls to Borneo on your dime.

i have both foxfire and ie.
i prefer foxfire because there are less problems, log-ins and passwords work better, etc.
one problem that occurs with both, more often with ie, is that when you click on something, a grew balloon appears and says it isn't available. but click again, and usually it connects.
it's not spy or ad ware. i have spy bot, and ad-ware and use them routinely and often.

Please seek therapy. Immediately.

I love the tabs too. I got stuck on them with MYIE, but it ran over IE and I still had all of the spyware problems. Switched to FireFox and now I have my tabs and no spyware.

um...a decade is 10 years. And yes, there was internet 10 years ago. In fact, I made my first web site a decade ago.

What about ARAPNET? You forgot about ARAPNET.
As long as we're being anal about things.

Ten years, twenty years, what's the difference.
The point is, technology changes all the time.
