I used Firebird up until the new Google toolbar and I would in now way describe anything about it as "fast".
On Mac I use Safari and I love when it freezes up when I'm trying to do something important.
That said, Camino (the Mac equivalent of Firebird) sucks sweat covered donkey dick. As does the Mac IE.

I have and XP laptop still and I have a Windows network at work that I admin.
That said, I love the Google Toolbar and I never cared much for the tabbed browsing.
I like spawning separate processes of the IE browser sometimes, not just ctrl-N to get a new one within the original process.
That way if you need to do something important and the other shit crashes, it kills that process and not the new one that you created.
Safari won't do that and it is one of the things that annoys me about it - once part of it freezes, it all freezes. That is something I hated and still hate about the old Macs.

It does. And the screen on it is aged - laptop screens only last so long and heat is hard on them, so this one isn't too happy.
But it still works and I can fix the fan on the heat sink and then it is as good as new... sort of - and a new keyboard as well.
Since I won't carry that around with me, I might set it up on a monitor, so the screen not being terribly bright doesn't matter.
I have a tiny little Sony Vaio sitting here next to me - it is so incredibly fucked - it needs to be formatted or thrown like a discus into the night.
It is just restarting over and over next to me - fantastic.
I have done a repair installation of XP onto it now over 6 times. I wish I could do it more - thankfully I think I will.
the owner of it never installed any of the patches on it and it had a nasty worm on it that would kill our work network - yay!
Anytime you reboot it, the thing freezes up and dies.
Also, since it is a Sony and has XP, it won't let you go into the admin console with no password. Fantastic.
There are two ways around that, but I don't have the discs here for that - also awesome!
So I get to do more of this at work tomorrow, which I have already been doing for the past two days.
If I find out that this isn't an important laptop, I am going to smash it into very little pieces right in front of the guy.

There are some Linux boot disks that let your erase the NT/XP admin and user group passwords. Essentially leaving them blank and allowing you to gain full control. I've used it before and it works like a charm. Saved me from having to reinstall Win2k on a box that landed in my lap.
Sounds like you need those tools to reset the password and give the Vaio a cleaning.

Try this link to recover "lost" passwords
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
Software worked for me. And to you innocent ones out there...always, always, always, wipe a drive before you get rid of your computer. And remember, formatting a drive isn't wiping it.

The passwords don't exist - it is an XP Home disk. It is a bug in the software that if there is no admin password it won't let you get in at all to the recovery console.
I can get in with disks that MS provides, or I can use a Win2K disc and get in that way.
I just don't have them here at home right now - they are all at work.
At least it only takes 37mins on this computer to reinstall it on this laptop.
