  I been using IE and Chrome with Windows 7 RC.  I decided to see if Firefox would work with it.  I downloaded the Minefield version (version 3.6a1pre).  It works and it works great with Windows 7 RC.  My guess is that the normal Firefox release of 3.5 will work for you.
  Let me update you on Windows 7 RC.  It is excellent and I am not having any problems.  Everything seems to run on it.  I will be buying it and you know I have cussed Windows here for years.  It looks like they got it right this time and it is about time.

  You may remember that I was telling you about the loud sounds from my CPU fan.  It was so loud that it hurt my hears and I shut down the computer from time to time.  I fixed the problem.  I had opened up the computer a few times and messed with the fans and the CPU fan and nothing would help.  I laid the computer on the side so that gravity would help hold the fan on top of the CPU and it fixed the problem.

  I can not wait until tomorrow.  I plan to go get a Samsung Finesse from MetroPCS.  I hope I do not chicken out.  That is a lot of money for me to spend ($350.00).  If I get it you will know because I will take some photos with the Finesse and make a video with the cell phone just to see what they look like.  I will also try posting direct to ShowMeBlog and Howard’s Notebook using the cell phone.  
  I hate to spend even one more dollar tomorrow but I am going to want a MicroSD card for the phone.  I just checked and it does not look like Radio Shack has a sale on anything I can afford.  They do have a 16GB MicroSDHC card.  It is $59.99 (normal price of $119.99) but that is more memory that I need and I am not sure the Finesse will support 16GB.  My guess is about 8 GB.
  I am looking forward to tomorrow.
