All I can say is yay to firefox - with prefbar installed. I surf in text mode, with images, flash, etc disabled until needed. It actually makes the slow speeds bearable. (also makes sure that you only leave a tiny footprint in the proxy log files - looks like you surf the least out of everyone in the office - meanwhile...) It gets annoying when sites dont have alt attributes though. (aoddly enough its most often sites serving asp's - go figure). I can only agree with this.
