[nabs-l] another one in the market for a new computer

[Joshua Lester]

Firefox isn't very good, especially if you want to watch Youtube videos.
Alot of music classes require that you listen to diferent pieces, and

Youtube works better with IE.
I hate the fact, that when using Firefox, Youtube makes the computer freeze up!
Not cool!
Blessings, Joshua
