Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4 Release Notes
they going to settle on a firefox edition any time soon?

i'm still using 3 and it's crap, a total drain on my resources.
I've avoided updating to 3 so far....Quote:

i'll give 3.04 a go now and let you know.
Just downloading it now, taking ages though. I pray each time it does something about the CPU usage but I dont hold my breath.

does it incorporate bookmarks when you upgrade to a new version?
taking ages for me too, 20 minutes apparently.

what's that then?
and how come firefox gives you the option to incorporate your explorer bookmarks but not previous firefox versions?

Now what results do you expect to get from a 6 year old computer :)
oh just checked, explorer saves it as a CSV file (comma separated values) or excel style file.Quote:

new or updated FF version
same method but this time import that same file.
finished.
If youre upgrading from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 you shouldnt have to do anything for the bookmarks. If its FF2 to FF3 you might have to.
This is old hat if you use Safari or Google Chrome but the 3.1 Firefox will have tear away tabs, pull a tab from the bar and drop it outside for a new window.
Firefox 3.1 gets tab tearing - Mozilla Links
There are loads of FF tweaks too, they're semi-easy to do. Fast Video Download is good as well, like the FF download helper but less fuss. I kinda like the FlagFox. Damn if just about all the servers aren't in the USA. Wonder why that is. Keyscrambler is a good one to have I guess.Quote:

does the trick and I shan't replace it until absolutely necessary, especially since ubuntu has breathed into it a very new lease of life.
^ Offends me? No way
Try with amuse instead :)
You may have gotten a new life into it but it is only a partly new life if it chokes on current
software releases and you have to stick with 2-3 year old versions.
might buy myself a new one for christmas and leave this one as a torrent machine/storage device.
reckon i can pick up something nice for under 12,000.
:)
I agree that you can pick up something for around 12000. But nice?
That's £240 , what would you expect to get for that money in England?:rolleyes:
I bought my son a new computer this spring.
An HP/Compaq from Tesco.
Descent performance and a 19" widescreen LCD included.
20000 Baht was a good price, the price being so low because HP/Compaq wanted to clear stock.
Buying too cheap means buying into the past so the remaining life of the item
is shortened.
All depends on what you use your computer for. If youre an avid gamer then you have to keep bumping the specs to run the games. If youre just surfing, using word or basic photo stuff its not quite as important. People still run Windows 98 FFS. Tools for the job.
You can get a complete package for £199.99 in the UK just over 10,000bt

You could've still got a higher performance machine if you had it built from off the shelf parts though.Quote:

You can of course always buy a 1500 baht chingaling motherboard and believe that
it is of same quality as an Intel board.
Hard to say without you posting the specs, but as you said it was cheap because it was old stock, it is therefore likely to not be that 'pokey'. If it was the latest model you'd pay the usual premium just for having a nice badge on the case.Quote:

The availability of faster cpu's and bigger harddisk made this unit a wee bit old.
The lifespan is short for a producer, they wanted to get rid of what they had
in stock otherwise they would not had sold it through a food chain.
I consider it as a good buy, a good entry level system for the son.
My own computers cost a couple of times more and they are built from shelf parts :).
if i get a new pc, what processor has a longer life?Quote:
