Well, the failed experiment in browser wars has finished. After many months of trying to make Netscape 6 work on a regular basis, its faults just proved too costly for me to continue using it. Memory leaks, frequent crashes and a general blahness are just too much for me to deal with. So, at the recommendation of my local computer guru, I've gone back to Netscape 4.79. Lord help me if I ever find that Internet Explorer is the best thing for me to use -- I know it handles some functions better, but it's just not aesthetically pleasing to me. I'll deal with the consequences of not being able to fulfill certain functions when they come up.

I just got back from seeing The Count of Monte Cristo with my father. 'Twas a great film and Jim Caviezel did an excellent job -- much to my surprise, since I thought his acting in Frequency was mediocre at best (which fit the mediocre-at-best film, I suppose). Dad and I have patched things up, especially since I sat him down and told him that I knew he was freaking out about his upcoming move and having to find a job, but to please realize that I was going through the very same thing he was except that he already had a place to live when he moves and he has a lot more money to play around with than I do, plus I'm working in a much shorter timespan than he is. Once the lightbulb finally went on above his head, things were cool between us.
