I'm not dissing Opera or anything, I actually use it quite often. Anywho the Opera team just came out with a nifty new tool they call Opera USB. What is it you ask? Oh nothing, just a simple little browser that you can take with you where ever you go. It's free and it doesn't mess up the computer your using it on. And it doesn't leave any trace of it's existance on the computer either. Perfect for a sneaky ninja like me. Again it's free and portable, you can't lose! Google it, download it, enjoy it. Feedback is appreitiated, thanks!

Firefox is AWESOME! I'll never use IE again, and sorry I won't PAY money to browse the net, or look at Add banners as is the case with Opera.

Suka is correct. The Opera browser is free in USB or desktop form. And what are you talking about? Add banners? Opera has a pop-up blocker I'll have you know.

Interresting, I was told that in order to use the free version you had to put with ad banners. I'll have to give it a try if it's free!

We also had one called Bess but since we were running Windows 98 it was really easy to hack, now that the school’s on XP (Well it was my senior year) it’s almost impossible.

Well, they took my hack away, and patched it, so it doesn't work anymore anyway. I just ask a friend to sign on for me. It's quite a nuissence, really.

Also a close friend of mine works at the district office so if I need to work around any sort of block I can get his help. Plus I've got another close friend that knows just about every loop-hole for websence and any other blocker you can think of. I still get a kick out of websence though. It keeps my Astronomy teacher from getting to websites about black holes and pulsars, stating that they are porn sites!
