[AT] Off topic, computer/Mike Sloane

[charliehill]

Mike,  I'm going to pull the plug on my internet connection and go see if I 
can get some work done.
If you don't mind would you send me a link directly to the download page for 
Firefox?  I'll see if I can download it.  It won't solve my long term 
problem but maybe it will help me to clean up this mess.  With another 
browser I can delete my old browser and reload it.

Thanks

Charlie
