Afraid I am not suficiently clever to know what trying a new browser might entail.


Please do not get confused between clever and good with computers. Now I have only really been in Greg Stephens' company once for an extended conversation, but that was enough to establish that here was an intelligent, knowledgeable, well-informed and enthusiastic person who is a great asset to the music scene in the UK. So he came late to an interest in computers and is still to an extent learning; that does not make him any less clever.

Personally, I would not rush into this until it has been established why your brower (which I assume to be a version of Internet Explorer) does not cope well with the EFDSS Archive site. We have your posting and the one from Sminky stating problems. If there is a problem with this website and IE, then Malcolm needs to be made aware of that, and I intend to email him with this information, but it would be useful to have some other information, particularly from IE users.

If you decide that you would like to try another browser than I would suggest that you try clicking here to be taken to the Mozilla website and click on the Download Now - Free button which will then give you a symbol on your desktop to allow you to install Firefox as a web browser.

In practice there is very little to choose between Firefox and Internet Explorer in the way they function, in my opinion. I use Firefox because -
1] I think it operates a bit more quickly than IE
2] I believe that Firefox is less susceptible to viruses because thare are a lot of people out there who really hate Microsoft and try to devise ways of disrupting their software.
