Major upgrade to Internet Explorer available

Internet Explorer 7 is the first major update to Internet Explorer in a while.

There are a lot of new features and I’ll link to a review of the browser here

But one new feature - and it sure isn’t the one getting the most attention - will solve a lot of problems for my readers, at least judging from the e-mailed questions I get.

That feature automatically adjusts the size of a Web page you are printing so that it fits perfectly on the printed page. There have always been ways to do that but - take my word - I get several e-mails a week on the topic.

You can download the browser here if you like.

My quick take? I doubt that Firefox users will be moving back to IE anytime soon but it’s a worthwhile upgrade.

Hi Ma Bell

While I was growing up, AT&T was the phone company. Then came deregulation which brought on the Bells and a bunch of other phone companies.

Now, with the merger of AT&T and BellSouth nearly done, AT&T is once again becoming the phone company.

Here is an interesting discussion on what all that could mean to you. It’s the top item on the page but there are several other items worth reading here too.
