Homepage / Browsers

Unread post by ~Z~ »

What do you guys have set as your homepage for your browser? Also, do you use internet explorer exclusively, or do any of you use other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Safari, etc? Just trying to see how the pages display for you.

I have usage stats as to percentages of visitors and what browsers they use, but i want some written feedback, rather than just a click of a poll for information. Mainly want to know what homepage you guys use.

Michiganrailroads.com is set as my homepage. But I'm considering changing it to this site.
Firefox is cool, but I can only use it at School. I use IE6 here at home.
Just in case anyone cares, my Internet Provider is Comcast.

I use Mozilla for the most part (I've also got Netscape, IE and Opera as alternates), home page on Mozilla and Netscape is the Shortlines board, probably the same for Opera, and IE might be my primary e-mail server. I also have this page (well, the front page of the bulletin board part of railroadfan.com anyway) as well as the Lower Peninsula board and the History board on the shortcut bar in Mozilla, making it easier to skip between them.
