Happy Hump Day!

The crud in my head continues to vex. I've avoided self-medicating, preferring to keep hydrated and dose occasionally with Vitamin C. The itchy throat makes sleep a tricky thing...and I don't feel much like slaving over the Flash console in the meantime.

No thanks to Micr0$0ft tech support, I got rid of (at least temporarily) that annoying "Windows is not Genuine" BS pop-up that plagued me for the past weeks. Got a new pop-up reminding me that Service Pack 1 will no longer be supported starting in October...gee, I thought I had SP2, but that re-installation must have killed it. So, I've been downloading SP2 from M$ Update for the past 8 hours...I'm still 26 MB from finishing. At least IE doesn't reset like Firefox has been prone to...what's up with that, anyway? I'd use IE if it wasn't such a slow pig...and offered tabbed browsing.

    Try a hot toddy for sleeping; the honey and lemon soothes the throat, and the alcohol helps you sleep.

    Uuhh, actually, IE does do tabbed browsing with the Live Toolbar.

    However, for a better solution, try Maxthon.

    Uses the IE engine but looks/feels more like Firefox; tabbed browsing, popup blocker, adblocker, etc.

    Wonderful product that I have been using for a couple years now.

    You won't regret it...

    Then how come Maxthon doesn't appear doesn't appear in my Sitemeter browser share stats? Does it appear as IE, then?

    Sorry to be late to this but...

    Microsoft will mail you a SP2 disc, so if you ever have trouble again you'll at least have that...
