Just testing out the Deepest Sender tool in Firefox.

I had to switch to Firefox because last night, I visited a very bad site, which, without asking me at all, installed a slew of annoying and obnoxious adware on my machine.  I was looking for a free font editor, clicked the link, and BOOM -- malicious install on my computer.  It took David and I several hours to clean it up.  Very annoying.  And that was the end of my using Internet Exploiter.  I prefer a number of things about its interface, but damn it, you can drive a Mac truck through the security holes, even with Service Pack II.  Gawd-awful. 

So, I'm getting used to Firefox, and would recommend it to friends... the extensions available are very cool, and I like that it's open-source.  If only because if a security hole is discovered, there'll be 100 patches for it the next day, instead of Micro$oft claiming it's all fine, go about your business, etc.  Dumb. 

Anyway, Deepest Sender is pretty cool.

And here's a bonus picture of Sophia for reading this far:
