I have monthly contact lenses from spec savers (£9.99 via the lense mail service). Never had a problem with them. I do wear my glasses to give my eyes a rest as well. I personally think I look better without glasses, but others say I look quite sophisticated, which of course I am.

A bucket of warm water

Does anybody know if there is any truth in the, what I suppose you could call, urban legend, where if you put a persons hand in a bucket of warm water whilst they sleep, they'll wee wee the bed?

It sounds like you've aquired one of those horrible plugins or ie extensions that takes over your browser. Several of my friends have had these nasties, and even an uninstall-reinstall of the browser won't fix it. If you can't identify the dll that is being loaded by the browser, your only option is...

I would think there is, but it would require editing the binary with a hex editor. This approach also assumes that the versioning enforced by Microsoft is an artificial restriction, and that there have been no underlying changes to the protocol.

It's more hassle than it's worth.

You make a compelling argument. I haven't used Firebird since the early beta - it wasn't too bad. I shall download it as soon as my other downloads have finished. Edit: I wish the Mozilla site wouldn't use PNG files. They are not as efficient as GIF files on low colour images. I will also say that I...

If it renders everything correctly, why didn't AOL use it in it's client software? and if AOL didn't use Netscape, why should anybody else? Netscape seems to have an inability to run scripts and render many webpages correctly. It doesn't fully support (implement correctly) the document object model....

Just use it, especially on web pages with multiple tables and controls like buttons and drop downs on them, and you'll find it doesnt render them correctly.

Mozilla/Netcape are nasty. The reason why it never won the browser wars in the late 1990's was because it is crap. Even with a complete rewrite, it is pretty much the same. The Geko engine is not very good. The only thing I like about these alternative browsers is tabbed Windows.
