  • Googler Releases Toolbar for Firefox

    This is a little late, but thought it was worth sharing… Google just released a Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox. I probably won’t be installing it, but you might find it useful. Here are some of the features:

    • SpellCheck
      Check your spelling whenever you type in web forms
    • AutoLink (US only)
      Turn street addresses into links to online maps
    • AutoFill
      Automatically fill out forms for faster online shopping
    • WordTranslator
      Translate English words into other languages

  • Ordered a Dell Inspiron 6000

    Just placed an order for a Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook. Looking forward to getting it. Here are the specs of the new system..

    • Intel Pentium M 730 · 1.60Ghz/2Mb Cache/533Mhz FSB
    • 15.4 inch UltraSharp WUXGA LCD Panel
    • 512MB DDR2 SDRAM 1 Dimm (Additional 1GB DDR2 SDRAM 1 Dimm ordered separately)
    • 128MB DDR ATI’s MOBILITY? RADEON X300 PCI Express x16 Graphics
    • 80GB Hard Drive
    • Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 Internal Wireless (802.11 a/b/g, 54Mbps)
    • 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive

    I really, really, really wanted to get a Mac laptop… but I don’t have the cash to buy all new software for it right now… This’ll be a desktop replacement for me at home. I am super-psyched to be getting it!
