I am trying out a new browser called Flock 1.0 with all my school work, and it seems to handle everything just fine. My husband (the brilliant man that he is) discovered it on his journeys around the Net. It is very similar to Firefox, but has a nicer interface. If anyone tries it out, post and let me know how your experience went.

It does use plugins from Firefox, and I have installed ie tab and  pdf download (to view pdf files in the browser).
