781466 2009-06-11 20:58:00 When a post is made, and I don't know if I want to read it or not and I want a short glimpse of the contents, I just hover over the link and it tells me what the first few lines are .

That's all good .

It just disappears too fast!


Can a mod turn the hover-time up a little?

Is that a boy or a girl penguin?

Are you allowed to use flash drives on the work PC, Colpol? If so, get one (maybe a U3 device) and install Firefox on that and run it from the flash drive.

Tried that but it came back and said
You don't have access to write to the installation directory. Click OK to choose a different Directory.

I have admin rights
