IE accidentally deleted

Octavian · 2004-04-10, 06:01 AM

Being the young amateur customiser I am, I decided to change my desktop icons again. But alas, I accidentally deleted the Internet Explorer icon. I didn't realise it until I clicked Yes. Realising it was gone, I went on a long, arduous journey to the Recycle Bin, discovering it was not there, I was in shock and horror. Upon starting up IE from the Programs menu, I found I could not connect. Looking at the Networks little tabby thingy, there was no signal. Am I screwed?

But Robert, it did seem to have. I tried again this morning and there was no connection. Plus I can't download Mozilla (no Internet).

Can't you download the Mozilla (go for firefox) or Opera installer, and put that onto disc, take that to your other PC and install it there? They're both miles better than ie anyway.

.

but its based on IE so it sucks that is why you shoudl get firefox

Why use another browser anyway? I mean, what can mozilla do that IE can't, minus the fact that mozilla takes up a crap load of system resources?

Its tabed, is faster, it automaticaly blocks popups, free of spyware, smaller, customizable with plugins, changable themes. it uses less recuorces when its running, has a built in Download manager, totaly stable and it definently works better than IE.

I used to think why woudl anyone ever want to give up perfectly good IE for something else, but this realy is much better.

see but I dont need all that crap. not that much time is actually spent surfing the internet anymore, I reached the end of it years ago.. therefore shit like that is jsut a waste of valuable game/pr0n space.

Alright Robert, you've had your way. I've installed Mozilla and am testing it out.
