I went to edit the audio today and found that the recording is corrupt. I tried fixing it but it's severly screwed. Needless to say I'm hacked off with this and can't be bothered re-recording the show today and then editing the new audio.

So no show this week folks. Next week we'll be back. Not sure if we'll re-record this weeks topic or of we skip ahead to episode 15 and call Episode 14 the lost episode...

We are joined this week by RedIronFist as we discuss switching your internet browser to <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com/">Mozilla Firefox</a>. We discuss the steps needed to switch (from download, past install, by initial setup, to daily use). We touch on the reasons Mozilla states to switch, and we explain our our reasons for switching. We also discuss our favorite add ons to the browser, and some of the drawbacks of switching away from Internet Explorer.

Unfortunatly we lost some of the audio as the connection died mid way through. So certain bits might sound a bit funny where I connected the two sound files.
