FirefoxI started using Firefox just to see what it was like. Now, I realize that I have been using it exclusively, find it indispensible, and don't miss Internet Explorer.
Google Earth
This is the killer app for broadband internet service. The idea is simple. It’s a globe that sits inside your PC. You point and zoom to anyplace on the planet that you want to explore. Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Tap into Google search to show local points of interest and facts. Zoom to a specific address to check out an apartment or hotel. View driving directions and even fly along your route. Google Earth is a downloadable application that you install on your PC.
