I find I can do a lot of stuff with !NetSurf these days, on this Kinetic,
but do use Firefox on the PC on a fairly regular basis, though I try to be
careful which sites I use.

The PC is also used for generating .pdf files from scans (Acrobat 6) and I
have Cooledit 2000 for "messing about" with audio. My camera software also
resides on it along with a copy of Irfanview but I don't think any of
these poses a risk
