Christmas present for PlanetCatfish!

Post by Jools »

All~

You will notice a new link graphic at the bottom of the page. It allows you to download the firefox browser. For every browser downloaded and installed, google pays planetcatfish.com $1.

This is a great way to upgrade to a what is, in my opinion, a superior browser AND swing a little christmas cheer (i.e. cash) our way with no great effort.

So, I'd like anyone who does download firefox from the link to post a reply so we know you've done good for us!

I have three 'puters I visit from, one is already on Firefox. The other two will soon be.

Just motivated me to get off my duff to do the upgrades I'd been putting off for so long.

Ah. Of course, I've got a few linux boxes that "need upgrading" too.

I use a number of PC's at work, unfortunatly the bods in the tech department have locked them and they will not allow installation of software.

I'll have to see if I can convince them otherwise :D

I've done it. Firefox is great, you can have 3 homepages!

I think most non computer geeks don't realise (or care) that there's a world out there without Microsoft.....

Yeah, I'd agree and while we're on it, you can have an integrated RSS feed and I've got 5 homepages! Tabbed browsing is so good Microsoft have put it in a new patch for exploder.

Go to tools, extensions, get more extensions, select the newsreading link and then install Wizz RSS News Reader - Firefox Extension. The sign up for the PlanetCatish news feed!

Happy days!

I use Firefox when Safari doesn't work properly on some websites (which is quite often).
I was using Firefox 1.0.7 so I upgraded to Firefox 1.5 (for Mac OSX).
Hope you got your dollar Jools!

Because I do graphics I have 5 browsers on my Imac.

Safari 1.3.1
Internet Explorer 5.2.3
Firefox 1.5
Netscape 7.2
Opera (came with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and I never use this one)

I tech support quite a few of my friend's computers so I will upgrade all of their
Firefox browsers via PC website when I get a chance.

I was wondering what would happen if I kept on uninstalling and reinstalling Mozilla Firefox through Planet Catfish? Would Planet Catfish get a dollar for every time I installed it? Maybe I could have my computer geek friend try it. If everyone did this Planet Catfish would get loads of money! :D I hope it isn't illegal or something. :oops: Well, it was a good idea. :roll:

They log the IP address of the installation so only unique download and installs are counted.

I downloaded Foxfire using the link below and so far I'm quite pleased. No muss, no fuss and no salesman visited my home (that I know of :lol: )

Not to get off subject, Jools, but do I see a Scleromystax sp. in the upper left corner of my page? :D

Yup, added a few more graphics last week. Need some adjustment but that's being looked after by Jackster.

Haven't done this yet but I will when I get home. If I didn't work for the government I would install this on all the comps here since I am the Admin for all workstations and laptops. This site would make a killing if I could do it.

Anyways, is this link set-up so that if you do it once you can't repedeatly do it over and over and over........ again and again....etc. Cause that could generate some decent money. Also this will let me now if there is a point in installing it on both of my computers at since they go through a router and have the same public IP address.

Yes, but it does appear to allow multiple installs as I installed it on a couple of PCs at work and they were counted.
