12/23  After I upgraded my computer to XP, images viewed under IE looked
       really bad.  Mozilla still loads them fine.  What could possiblely
       be causing this?
       \_ Thanks but I found the answer in the registry...
          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Exploer\Main\UseHR
          needs to be set to 0.
          \_ What does that value mean?
             \_ http://csua.org/u/5cv
                If this value is defined to 1, IE will scale images if the
                Windows DPI setting (in Display Properties -> Settings ->
                Advanced) is set to higher than 96 DPI.
                Set the value to 0 to turn off IE scaling of images.

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

3/13    Firefox 3 Beta 4:  Fast, cleans up memory good on minimize, stable,
