When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
Where does your internet browser point to when you first get on? I have Yahoo right now but they redid the site and I don't care for it. Any good ideas?
I'll second the vote for Google. If you have a Gmail account, you can setup a page with customized news links, weather, etc. And, beings that it is lmost entirely text, it loads quickly.
about:blank also. Makes for instant load times. My parents use msn.com on their comp and it seems to take forever to load (5mb/sec internet too) I have all my fav. bookmarks as toolbar bookmarks (firefox) so I just click and go where ever I please, usually here. Keeps it simple.
