With Google Chrome, you can create / open multiple tabs at the top and jump back and forth in real time. I like Chrome so much better that IE. The search function (I think) is also much better and much more intuitive.

Another thought is that many libraries and most junior colleges offer tutorial sessions or "not for credit" classes on how to do stuff like this and teach the tricks etc.

I haven't used IE since they came out with Opera. Does IE not have tabs? It's been so long, I don't even remember, LOL! :D

What I abhor most about Windows 7 is the book mark feature. I bookmark sites...never to be seen again. I'm sure I have lots and lots somewhere, but for the life of me...can't find em.
I click on bookmark...a drop down box appears and says book mark this page and something about what folder I want to put it in. From there....it's lost forever, even if I do put it in a specific area. GRRRRR....I could go on and on, but that's one of my major ones. p.s..I've had Windows 7 for at least 6 months now and still in the dark.

CoffeeB, are you sure you bookmark things when you are using Windows 7 and not when you are using a browser? The reason I ask is I don't know if I have ever bookmarked things when I was not using a browser. Your browser is for when you look up different sites online. The 3 tops browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Chrome.
