Gmail is a free Internet based email client that was created by Google.com. This easy to use email client offers some very handy features and powerful tools. As with all Internet based email clients you can read your email anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection. There is a familiar feel to the way that Gmail is layed out as well. This helps it to be an intuitive tool that you will feel comfortable with right from the start. Some of the key features we enjoy are:
- GTalk. Chat with other people that have a GTalk membership while you are reading your email.
- One account to manage them all. You can setup Gmail to retrieve any email from all of your existing email addresses that offer pop3 access. This means that if you read your email in a client such as Thunderbird or Outlook you will be able to get those email messages in Gmail.
- Filters meets tags. You can create custom filters that sort your email and automatically place tags on them. When you login to your Gmail account you are greeted with tags in front of the email subject.

Firefox is a high quality free web browser created by world class developers from all around the world. It is much faster than all of the full featured web browsers available today. Due to the fact that it is not tied into your operating system it provides a layer of protection. Firefox is based on code that was created for Netscape Navigator the very first fully functional graphical web browser ever made. The result is a level of maturity, usability and functionality that can not be beat. Not to mention the cutting edge features that are constantly being added. Some of the features that we enjoy the most are:
- Keyword website lookup. You can enter the name of the website you want to visit in the location bar, press enter and it will open the website. Eg. if you typed ebay then pressed enter ebay.com would appear in your browser.
- Extensions. These are mini applications that extend the power of Firefox to be able to do specific tasks that you are interested in.
- Theming. Looks are important and Firefox alows you to select custom colors and put things where you wan them to go!
