Made the switch to Firefox on Mac OS X

Thanks to Microsoft, I finally made the switch to Firefox on my Powerbook. I'm totally addicted to clicking links with the wheel-mouse button to open them in new tabs. Firefox does that by default on my platforms (Solaris x86, Linux, and Windows XP), but for some odd reason, on Mac you have to map the wheel button to be a "Control Click" rather than just a click. I couldn't do that until I downloaded the appropriate Microsoft Intellipoint mouse drivers.

*MAS

And suddenly, *MAS is here. As we have done for the past couple of years, we took the kids to the dollar store so they could afford to buy presents for everybody.
