BROWSERS
FOR DUMMIES!
Or
The Fine art of BROWSER FLIPPING and E-MAIL
CLIENT switching!
You're
stuck with your dimwitted crazy kid, stuck with that treacherous
sibling and the DOPEY parents. You’re tolerating whatever the Horse dragged in
with the mate, but you are NOT married to your EMAIL CLIENT or your BROWSER!
New,
smarter, faster, better BROWSERS are out there in CYBERSPACE available,
downloadable & FREE! Even a beginner who bought his first PC today, could
figure out how to download if you read this BROWSERS FOR DUMMIES file once, so
pour the coffee and on your mark, get set, GO!
Why not use MULTIPLE EMAIL CLIENTS, inside of MULTIPLE browsers and BROWSER SWITCH????Get the best of all worlds.
MOZILLA
FIREFOX VERS 3 is acknowledged to be the KING of browsers right now
though more people use I.E by BILL GATES. I agree with the MOZILLA being best.
I have VERS 2 cuz I am on WINDOWS 98SE and cannot upgrade. Tried but it broke
my hard drive, had to buy a new PC. As I use Earthlink, I tried EARTHLINK’s
gift browser but it’s SELF-SERVING JUNK! Most big ISPS or servers try
to give the beginner some PIECE of crap
browser, which funnels ad revenues in. BURN’em! AOL , MSN andEARTHLINK SERVERS
do that.(INFORM ME WHO ELSE, please if you know.)
There
are dozens of free browsers online. They’re free as they’re loaded with ads. I’ve
tried many, AOL, THUNDERBIRD.They’re all slow loading, heavy with ads.Some don’t have ads, but they’re slow. SLIM BROWSER useless, OPERA BROWSER –WHAT FOR? MAXTHON
BROWSER and INTERNET EXPLORER
(i.e. BILL GATES’ oldest of all…75% of
AMERICA uses it, which is weird seeing as how GATES has screwed up the
OPERATING SYSTEMs in VISTA so horribly that many people have to do a total DISK
WIPE.)
INTERNET EXPLORER came with my PC but
for the last 15 years, I’ve stuck with the only browser that has a decent EMAIL CLIENT inside it. NETSCAPE
VERSION 4.7. You can download it free
online. This is a beauty, a charmer, a
serving maiden with extended arms that collate your emails at your will, the
way you want. The only thing she cannot do is surf the net. She jams up at
sites with MODERN FEATURES like JAVA. So I surf with MOZILLA FIREFOX and go
into my GMAIL through there. GMAIL loads fast but has none of the GREAT FEATURE
that characterize NETSCAPE VERSION 4.7 INTERNAL EMAIL CLIENT.
IT HAS ALL THE FEATURES YOU WANT IN YOUR EMAIL CLIENT:
IT
HAS TO COLLATE BY SENDER: Want to see
all the email from ONE customer and one only? Find one letter from that pal,
get ON THAT LINE, now Hit the SENDER button.
COLLATE
BY SUBJECT LINE: Say you want to see all
your USED BOOK store orders at once. Every time I write a dealer, I make
certain that the SUBJECT LINE READS: Dear Alpha Books, Dear Joe’s Books. Dear
Jimmy’s Books. Dear Zebra books. So the DEAR section of my browser is
alphabetized in a way. From Alpha Books to Zebra Books. HIT the “COLLATE BY
SUBJECT LINE” button. It’s like ordering BROWSER to ‘show me all the DEAR BOOKSTORE
OWNER letters. Of course you have to write all bookstores with the same
greeting. “DEAR LIBRARY, DEAR SAM’s BOOKS, DEAR JOE’s SHELVES, in the SUBJECT LINE!
COLLATE
BY DATE: Want to see all emails from
your first year of business? See customers’ names? You remember that first big
money deal? Can’t recall exact name of corporation? HIT BY DATE. Though
frankly, I hit date, all the time as my latest email arrivals are there.
COLLATE
by SIZE: Want to lose size in the
Email area? I have 4400 emails right now, So frequently I want to cut out the
biggies. Especially if the EMAIL acts up.You
can do some erasing. (NETSCAPE does not like you to collect over five thousand
emails, so I have to save and erase occasionally.)
NOTE:
HOW TO ERASE those EMAILS that are piling up! SAVE THE TEXT TO DIRECTORY! You don’t have to
keep an email in EMAIL section if you want the information in it. As a writer,
I like to save text, then ENTER the text with a WORD PROCESSOR and turn it into
NET-READY HTM! (HYPTER TEXT i.e. formatted, colorized, etc.) So, save the email
to cache – to the C:\directory where it belongs. C:\HOLISTIC or C:\FRUGAL or
C:\FUTURE. Create a DIRECTORY for political articles. Create a directory for
all that precious info on cooking might go to RECIPES. Save, thenerase the
email.My star client Courtney’s letters ---the ones where she discusses big
movie star guys, (all ready for the tabs if she doesn’t pay her three year
bill, --she was bankrupt for years til she sold the catalogue but I kept on
working for her,) all that info on beau Ed Norton, his temper, his control
freak stuff, ENQUIRER WOULD LOVE IT, well I save it to cache as “C:\HOTCORRESPONDENCE
directory. (NOTE: Ztree
software lets me build directories I need. In a two second flash.) So finding
big files and erasing them is needed and collating by Size is an important
feature when you’re choosing what you want to erase. )
COLLATE
BY SENDER: NETSCAPE lets me collate by SENDER, in an instant, my 3000 emails
are juggled and I can see all the COURTNEY LOVE emails she ever sent ---lined
up.NAT’L ENQUIRER, are you listening? Or all the email that came from JOE’s SHELVES of used BOOKS.
JUST his mail to me. Very useful. To get ten of his past emails In a row.I can
see what he promised and what he actually sent. I always erase the emails after
I got the books but only after I STASH the bookdealer’s email addie in a LIST.
NETSCAPE
4.7 has an equally intricate address book system. It lets you make BOOK DEALER LISTS. Or CLIENT LISTS. Or my students …listed by HOLISM, FRUGAL LIFESTYLE CLUB, THE
HOW TO MARRY A BILLIONAIRE
GROUP, the LOVE and COURTSHIP STUDIES group, PETS/ CATS, SCREENWRITERS. GARDENERS, fans of the MASTER JULES. The JERRY’s REFRIGERATOR “TIN
FOIL HAT” website which is for the ultra secret CONSPIRACY THEORY GROUP. And
the GOV SECRETS THEY
DO NOT WANT U TO KNOW website. Before
I post a new article at a website, it goes to appropriate LIST of chums.
A
GOOD ADDRESS BOOKS lets you put all
kinds of secret notes in each email addie (this guy is Cordon Bleu cook,
married, lives in Connecticut. I find the list can be unstable with more than
15 names, so do COOKS1, COOKS2, COOKS3.
So,
ADDRESS BOOKS and Browsers that COLLATE are the tools of a great PC user.
Nobody out there does it with a free download mail client except NETSCAPE vers 4.7 (if you know different, write me astrology at earthlink
net.)
WHAT
NETSCAPE DOES NOT DO: It does not
make good coffee. And it does not surf the internet well. It crashes at high
tech sites, because hey, it was built in 1995 -- 13 yrs ago. The only JAVA it
knows comes in a cup and I spray it when I laugh and NETSCAPE is well familiar
with it! So if some pal sends me “GO QUICK TO U-TUBE see the monkey who rides a
dog in a rodeo I forward the letter/ url to my GMAIL addie which is in my
MOZILLA & I switch to MOZILLA
FIREFOX. I minimize the NETSCAPE and BOOT UP the FIREFOX watch the monkey then
come back to NETSCAPE vers 4.7.
If a Pal sez GO TO LATEST WASHINGTON GOSSIP.COM, I FORWARD that EMAIL with URLS to CALSTARLADY at GMAIL which resides in my MOZILLA FIREFOX BROWSER and I read it a moment later when I open MOZILLA and then open my GMAIL email there, THERE IS THE URL in MOZILLA FIREFOX GMAIL AREA.
NOW
there is a SUPERB BROWSER!MOZILLA FIREFOX! HUZZAH! MOZILLA FIREFOX stores form info. Say you’re at a website filling in
form, you go to type in your home address, it instantly sees what your first
two letters are, and gives you your HOME ADDRESS. 7900 Zelzah. Or your EMAIL
ADDRESS. I have about l00 different EMAIL addresses so I can do l00 ads at
CRAIGS, in POLAND< FRANCE< EUROPE, get those beautiful girls to quit show
biz and marry billionaires with the free, 100 classroom SEMINAR at HOW TO MARRY
A BILLIONAIRE.COM
MOZILLA
remembers all my email MONNIKERS. Names, EMAIL ADDIES. If I am at my GMAIL BOX where I have a
dozen addresses for use at CRAIGS LIST, and I write “STAR” ---THE BROWSER
ITSELF REMEMBERS and asks which star? My choice:
STARLADY or STARGAZER or STARBABE or STARGALA and I get to recall all the
little mail boxes I have. CRAIGS LIST cannot recall them all and that is good
as I can do multiple ads daily.
When you get to starla…..itdoes the rest for you knowing
your email addies and get this! EVEN knowing your PASSWORD and putting it
in anonymously as ******* ! Then One more RETURN or ENTER key swack and you get
the mail! Fast typists? Fast mail! And say you go to type a Craigs list adwith it’s REMEMBER URL SCREEN in DIFFERENTCOLORS --it
tells you what cities you put ads in before as COLOR of some of those thousand cities
is different. Because you were there before.
You
want to enter your GMAIL and see
who answered the CRAIGS LIST ad, at the dozen a day different ads, at one of
your FORTY addresses in GMAIL, to see ifyou gotta answer somebody. well,you
stacked your dozens of GMAIL EMAIL addresses there in MOZILLA so it’s double
easy!. They seemingly are stored in (and are accessible THROUGH ) the PORTAL
OF MOZILLA.Why? Cuz you always select GOOGLE for your default front page
and GOOGLEIS GMAIL so you have the
GMAIL OPTION at top, so you can hit it, instantly go into a menu asking WHICH
GMAIL ADDIE??? And the second you write even part of the ADDIE, it knows where
you’re heading and gives the WHOLE thing to you PLUS YOUR PASSWORD!***** ZIP
ZIP I answer CRAIGS READERS who want more info on that FRUGAL SEMINAR FREEBIE
WEBSITE, and how to start FRUGAL groups in their town.
I have also
downloaded all the FREE "MAIL CLIENTS" aol.com (slow) aim.com
(slow) Operamail.com (faster), HOTMAIL, butGmail.comis FASTEST plus it stores passwords so it's fast flip!
Lycos.com (slow) AIM.COM TEDIOUS, Yahoo.com (medium fast.) Walla.com (OK).
Hotmail.com (tedious, annoying.)
EUDORA is free finally but I cannot
figure it out. They say it resembles the best email client of all, NETSCAPE version
4.7 but it doesn’t. I need a textbook of some kind I guess and of
course, there isn’t one.
NO EMAIL CLIENT DOES what NETSCAPE
vers 4.7 did with its BUILT IN EMAIL
CLIENT whichis like a 72 Caddie Eldorado with fins, AC, Top goes up and down,
it collates by subject, size, date, sender! That feature is like having tires
that reinflate themselves! AND it has NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR among options on
top to write htm articles in! SWEEEEET!
NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR- This is a fine HTM text software WORD PROCESSOR. You
can colorize with it, Create FONTS with it. All the things MICROSOFT WORD does
without the copious CODING inside post 1997 versions. I KEEP OFFICE SUITE 1997
around for a much better version of WORD. It’s nigh impossible to add graphics
with ANY OFFICE WORD PROCESSOR so I use NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR EXCLUSIVELY NOW
FOR MY WEBSITE PAGES.
WHEN
I am out surfing, popping those ads onto CRAIGS LIST WEBSITE, I use several
browsers to shuttle bing bing bang between two or three screens where I'm doing
the placing and even the final okaying of craigs list ads. (There are always
two phases, first, you place the ad; then, it comes back to your (many) email
box(es) as otherwise you only get two ads a day but with multiple email addies,
try FORTY different cities!!!....CRAIGS does a check, sending your ad back to
you at whatever mail box and then you prove you’re YOU when you okay the ad.)
Before I got all these many email boxes, I used to use pals to do ads. I'd put
the ad up in their name. They'd forward the response from CRAIG to me.Lost a
LOTTA pals that way!
Some
browsers invite switching, they're so damn slow. Before I got DSL I thought
grass would grow between my toes while I loaded ads. Now, with DSL, that’s not
a problem In the old days with NO DSL, whileMozilla
Browserloaded, I popped over and go look
at Internet Explorer THE BIG BLUE E, which has as a default front page
setting, http://www.mail.yahoo com,
cuz I always have some mail over at yahoo.mail.
BY
THE WAY, get the latest version of INTERNET EXPLORER BROWSER, easy
download. My pal cued me :"Don't use IE 5.0. It is old and no longer
supported. You should use the latest one for Win98 which is IE 6.0. Vers
7. does not work for WIN 98 and you don’t want to upgrade your OS. Get VERS 6
here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.mspx
And don't be fooled by
"service pack" being part of the name. It's not just a service
pack. It's Internet Explorer 6.0 with the service pack already added.
Just do one thing, check to see if your VERSION OF WINDOWS is new enough for
it. Don't load it unless you're driving a Millenium or XP windows OS.
So I
did that download and it wasn't hard or time consuming. Any tyro can download
software and start up a new browser.
Now
you may not need multiple browsers. I DO! Placing so many ads daily I need to
have speed and I need passwords stored so there's less typing. I do not need
ad-ridden browsers. I'm always comparing browsers to get the one with the best
features. FOR INSTANCE, I FILL OUT a great many forms online. Or I gotta tap in
my addies. I like a BROWSER to remember the addies....the words in the FORM.
The passwords. And what if you hit a stall, you may have to go GREEN
ARROW backwards a few pages to see them twice or the next day I fill out some
more forms. I want that info to stay there. I want the browser to remember my
password and all of my email addies (starlady, starlady 250,calstarlady, etc.)
(I have at least fifteen different yahoo addies, cuz I do a lotta CRAIGS
LISTING ADS!) I want my browser to be like a good secretary!
So I
BROWSER FLIP and experiment to see which browser saves your most
frequent keystrokes in forms. I see what's there, run back to Mozilla where
GMAIL is stashed, so I can pick up my mail. And I go back and forth seeing mail
that is in either Yahoo, Lycos, (Kind of SLOW!) Netscape.com no longer
exists so is no longer my email holder or MAIL CLIENT as they switched their
name to AOL mail and AIM mail. Free by the way. But sludgey slow as they make
you read ads.
Then
there's Walla.com bought by Israeli firm, all in Hebrew but I can still use it
for mail. Fast. But GMAILcom is my absolute fave mail holder of all! If you
want multiple addies, there's also hotmail and mail.com and gmail and nerdshack
and mailshack, those are the email clients....GMAIL is invitational. Ask me and
I can send it to you, it's the BEST ONE OF all and I stick it as default
front page to my MOZILLA BROWSER and wow, what a combination! Mozilla
can remember everything you did. Passwords, different addies. YOU START to
write something and it gives you a view of it finished, and you can USE IT!
VERY FAST!
FOR
FREEBIE MAIL ADDRESSES, use AIM/ AOL
though both are slow booting up, as they’re full of ads,although maybe because
they are very busy, I like LYCOS, AVOID MAIL.com as it
FORCES Ad PAGES in your way, as an OBSTACLE and has faulty design. USE
WALLA.com and YAHOO.COM and use OPERAMAIL.COM HOTMAIL is OK. BUT THE BEST
ONE OF ALL IS GMAIL! Google's private one, which pals must invite you to
get into.
I
FEEL that these great browsers are mostly too slow on the out-take to send my
regular e-mail out of em. FOR MY EMAIL NEEDS, I USE NETSCAPE VERSION 4.7 which
has an amazing eclient in it. I understand it's like EUDORA. But that costs
money these days.
ANYWAY
ALL MY DIFFERENT browsers have a DEFAULT SETTING at some Email provider
like my IE goes to YAHOO.COM. OR, the second choice I have is google as a main
page, a default page.
After
trying others, I use IE as a browser and MOZILLA FIREFOX. THE SUPERIOR
ONE! Supposedly better than its THUNDERBIRD which is outdated. READ THIS EXPERT TALKING
ABOUT THE NEW MOZILLA FIREFOX VERSION 2. So Thunderbird and Mozilla
Firefox. Those two I do use. But Mozilla Firefox is best. It remembers
passwords and other things you load up daily onto other websites, addies, so
you don't have to type them in fresh all the time. I also downloaded MAXTHON
and opera 9. They're fine I use SLIM BROWSER, daily, not to web
surf, though all the diff browsers do that....but just for my WALLA E-MAIL BOX
which I installed there as default front page.
So
you see, there are two things you want to download free online. MAIL BOXES and
BROWSERS. GET A LOT by googling these keywords free download browser and free
download email client and get back to me which you like!
But
for every day use, I like Netscape 4.7-- an old 1995 version, (4.7 which
you can download free online if you google words like netscape + 4.7 + download
+ free,) as it HAS a mail box in it, and it has a browser, it is a browser and
its layout is easy for storage of e mail. You can see all letters at once by
scrolling, tight, neat, and info on each too, size, date. you can sort by date,
subject, size, sender. boy is that handy. VERY FAST. You can sort mail by DATE
REC'd SENDER/ SUBJECT/ SIZE very useful! I send myself copies of theads as TEXT
spirit group ad or TEXT pretty lady ad.
BUT
WITH NETSCAPE OLD VERSION, you cannot surf willy nilly thru the web as you
will jam it, reboot of browser is req'd so I GO TO MOZILLA FIREFOX for
websurfing. NOTHING fazes it!
I USE
INTERNET EXPLORER for my YAHOO mailbox. As IE surfs the net well, I
CANsend an interesting looking url to anita@ yahoo and get that letter later,
when I surf there later and save the article to CACHE from there. Or even
better I might send a webtip to calstarlady@gmail.com which is inside my
MOZILLA browser. That's the SUPERMAN browser.
AS
FOR MAIL CLIENTS.NETSCAPE 4.7is the only one with a fast neat well organized email
area. EVEN NETSCAPE 8 doesn't have that design. I tried downloading
newer vers. of NETSCAPE, like 8, it erased my early version. HOW RUDE OF IT! Ya
gotta know that when you take a newer vers it's gonna erase the older vers.
Like a new wife erases all presence of the last wife! But worse, its mail
client isn't there. I'm not a totally smart TEKKIE or a hacker. I don't know
how to install some of these mail clients in the browser so GIMME A BROWSER
that already has a superior EMAIL client
IN IT!
The fastest and perhaps best EMAILCLIENT would be GMAIL stuck inside of a MOZILLA BROWSER. There it
functions at top altitude. BUT not at the altitude of NETSCAPE vers 4.7 with
its collation features.
PS
if you want GMAIL, someone who has
it must give it to you, it's by invitation. So see who you know who has it,
then ask them to send the invite. It is ten times faster than AOL or AIM (those
two are actually the same company. What AIM/ AOL offers is a slow loader. EVEN
on DSL it takes two minutes to get it to crank up one addie that you have.)
GMAIL IS THE ONE YOU WANT inside MOZILLA. And another ICON on your desktop for
NETSCAPE VERS 4.7 which you can download right now. Online. Free.THE BLUE
RIBBON GOES TO NETSCAPE, DOWNLOAD IT FREE BY GOOGLING it up!
