Browsers Everyone asks me which browser should I use for internet. I thought I had to use the one the DSL company gave me. That is not true at all. I like Mozilla Firefox the best.

2.Tabs, you can controll multiple windows.

La Canada Caravan
On Caravan today I walked in a home today and was shocked how it showed. It was dark and gloomy. I wanted to get out of that house as quick as possible.

Here are some simple ideas
