IE7

Update: oh my...I found the problem. Conflict of programs. I probably can't blog about it - not because it's illegal software, far from it. If you know me, you can ask offline and I'll explain why it's extremely funny. - Scooter

I have to say that my IE7 install at home didn't go as planned. You see, it won't let me move off the home page...I type in www.yahoo.com, and it goes nowhere. I type in nodtonothing.blogspot.com...nada. I tried preprending http:// I tried my ftp://. Nope. Unless I actually set up the site in the tabs using the tools, home page section, I can't browse to any site other than the defaults, and that's not browsing, that's just staring at the defaults. I guess I could set up a page with all my favorites, or just use the favorites, but that seems pretty damn lame. Maybe this is the new "anti-phishing" technology. I can't be lured into wrong decisions if I can't actually use the web.

Fortunately, I'm not a one browser household. We run Firefox and Opera 9 as well. Both work almost equally as well except when it comes to ftp-ing files to my ftp site and I set that up as a default tab in IE until I can figure out how to repair the install.
