Dear Firefox, how are you, I am fine, anyway...[More:]listen, it would really help me out if, when I try to minimize you because my boss is walking behind me, you wouldn't go for a 10 second nap and stay frozen on my screen.

Ok, will write more later, hugs and kisses, Capn.
Never try to minimize! Always alt-tab to get another window in front.

Dear Capn,

Firefox is a bloated, crashy, piece of shit. I suggest you try Opera, which is still a crashy piece of shit, but it is less bloated and doesn't slow down to a crawl after a few hours of use.

Yours in Christ and Slackerhood,

PS - Links makes it easy to slack off while still looking like you're working.

I like it, it's like Russian Roulette. Will it VC++ with the library I'm supposed to be working on, or my personal email client, with a newly received message titled "WAT'S UP BITCHES! CHECK OUT THIS SHITFUCKER!"

Dear secure webmail program,

I love it when you decide to restore your window to its former prominence and boldly display my e-mail to the director of the company in aid of letting me know that an operation timed out. On my shitty Windows workbox? Surely you jest. Let's get together for a beer some time, shall we? Have your machine call my machine.

Dear Personal Computer and The Internets,

I've been meaning to write for a while to tell you how much I appreciate all that you've done to send my attention span to the toilet and my self-esteem to the hell in which offal decays.

I think it's fair to say that because of you I can no longer concentrate for more than a few seconds at a time. This, in itself, would be troubling, but coupled with the inadequacy that I'm blessed to feel because of all that I read about other people doing and all that I see them producing, it makes me want to die. For the sake of civility I will not even try to address the intricate workings of things, like, say, PHP tunnels, about which I read rumors and also about which I can only castigate myself for my lack of knowledge, insight and competence.

Other than those things, though, you know that I love you. While you've not made my life better in any appreciable way, when I can forget the horrible psychic pain that you inflict on me, I quite enjoy myself. In five second increments.

Love,
Omie "I wanna be your dog" Wise

Win-D (also known as Win... DAMN!) is your friend. Instant minimize-everything goodness. But remember to not use porn as wallpaper.

And Zozo, you don't want LN to die. Can you imagine a Zombie Lotus Notes? Slower, Dumber, and Harder to Kill? No, thanks.

Well, I know what I'll be having a nightmare about tonight.

Dear Capn and cmonkey,

The only problem I have with Firefox is when loading a page that's used Java. It bogs down a bit and then usually, although not always, gets it's groove on.

It never slows down although it's up and running for at least 12 hours a day and often 20 hours a day (damn insomnia anyway!).

Love,
deborah

I use VirtuaWin to get multiple desktops on Windows. Then I switch to a "safe" desktop whenever someone walks in. Even if Firefox is hanging, it doesn't matter.
