Title: Entering the 21st Century...
Post by: TheJord on May 28, 2011, 04:59:30 PM: I have finally upgraded to a phone with a touch screen, which replaces my old flip phone with an aerial. I am also putting Windows 7 on my laptop (not new however).

My question for my homies at TLHH is, which browser is best?

I use Firefox currently, wife likes IE.

I guess that means I'm still firmly in the 20th century. :lol:

I do. Not that I like it, or anything, but my wife likes it better since she's familiar with it, so I just take it. I liked Firefox a lot, never tested Chrome, though. And I still have a crummy phone, I guess I'm a dinosaur after all. I actually asked my Xbox 360 to come with at least ONE cord controller, since I didn't want it to have all wireless ones (not too keen on having to remember if the batteries were charged, etc).

Any recommendations for anti virus software? I am no longer a fan of AVG
