Paul,

On my XP desktop I played around with a program called Virtual Clone
Drive for a bit, it has stayed on my computer as Drive J: , but I don't
use it at all for anything.

I think I did try U'u 7.04 on it some time ago.
I grabbed U'u 10.04 last year but never played with it much.
I understand the recent versions of U'u can add U'u to my XP start up
menu, but haven't done it.

I am just a Piddler with my computer, I try some things I learn about
once in a while.

U'u is the only OS I could install in a vBox if I wanted to, I'm sure
this XP box wouldn't like me trying to install WIndows 3.1 or 3.11 on
it.   ;-)

Those are the only other OS's I own to install in a vBox.

I'm glad I learned about Acronis True Image in this Echo.
At least I CAN restore my entire system w/files if I ever needed to.
The Backup CDs/DVDs I'm required to make when the computer is new only
returns me to the 'As Bought' state.

I would guess if I wanted to see what FF4 looks like I could go to the
Mozilla web site and have a look see, so don't go to the trouble of
making a Video for me.  Thanks anyway.

PQ> EV> Paul Q.'s mention of History being missing is a concern to me also
PQ> EV> because I will use the History to find a URL I've been to a long time
PQ> EV> ago when I want to review it again.

PQ>My mistake, Ed.  Not history.  That's preserved.  The proper FF term is "Rec
PQ>pages" history; it's a button with a drop-down menu of webpages recently
PQ>visited that allows skipping back to a webpage's URL without having to step
PQ>back through the [Go back], [Go back] chain of webpages, between the [Go bac
PQ>one page] & [Go forward one page] arrows.  It's missing in FF4.  But like I
PQ>said, I use multiple tabbed windows mostly so I don't miss it that much.

Looks like You mean the button on the right side of the Address/URL bar
is gone.

I like typing in the Address/URL bar a few 'unique' characters in a URL
and then clicking on the completed link in the drop-down box for some
sites I occasionally go to and I haven't included them in my SpeedDial
FF Add-On.

I've been spoiled by the SpeedDial Add-On in FireFox.
I've often wondered what the web administrators thoughts are if/when
they look at what URL I have come from and see SpeedDial instead of
another sites URL.   ;-)

Thanks for the FF4 comments. Mate!
