Is anyone using Internet Exploder version 7 beta or whatever? These tabs and everything are sweet, and much better organized and easier to use than firefox...The text all looks different to me now though...almost has a reddish/purple tint to the black for some reason...STRANGE

I have heard some horror stories about problems with the beta version of IE 7. I'm not sure they are true, but I would not do anything with IE 7 without doing a complete backup first.

Well I'm about to have a stroke if I keep looking at the text like this. At first, it's kind of cool, now my head is just pounding. How the heck do I go back to ie6?

You ought to be able to do an uninstall and that should take care of it. But part of the story I heard was that uninstall would not work.

I'm really glad to hear that the uninstall worked!

I have firefox, but it seems slower than ie...so I just use ie heh...

Actually, the only thing that doesn't work on ie now (since the uninstall) is that when searching, it doesn't automatically bring up a page from the left screen (that sidebar search thing) into the main page -- I have to drag/drop the links.

Do yourself a favor, and try Opera if you haven't already (even if you have, try it again).

The current stable version doesn't play nice with DPC's menu bars, but the 9 beta that I'm using now works great.
