<<<-----Afraid to do it without Colossus here because I will eff it up (or it will eff with my Peachtree and Coreldraw.) After what I went through last week with malware courtesy of Bill Gates, I'm not taking any chances.

You would think BB had them sign a contract before they entered the house.

Terrific, I just bit the bullet and tried to install Firefox and got the good ol' "Netscape doesn't know how to open this program."

I just use computers, I don't pretend to understand them. (That just sounded like the old lady on Ellen - "I love Jesus but I drink a little", didn't it?)

I am really, really looking forward to tonight, and can't believe we have to wait until 9:00 to watch.

What's weird is if I access Hotmail through Messenger, I can read the emails, I just can't respond. If I go straight through a Hotmail sign-on link, I can't even read the emails.

Have I said how much I hate Netscape? I really do, almost as much as Explorer.

It's Tuesday and Chima is still gone. Life is good. Sanfran, I've never played a lawyer on tv but occasionally I've played one in real life, and your surmise may in fact be how it went down, but I will be gobsmacked if they show us that much.

"You would think BB had them sign a contract before they entered the house."

I'm sure they did....but often people wind up in court because of differences in how the two parties interpret that contract.

I think the problem is that Chima signed a contract that included rules for a voluntary exit but when she decided to leave in a fit of anger, she didn't think that clause was "fair" and refused to follow the contract's voluntary exit rules.

I once worked in a large department store and I got so fed up with a lot of ongoing crap after 4 years I finally just walked out, telling them "I quit". When I came back at the end of the week for my final check, they refused to give it to me until I went through an "exit interview" and signed a document saying that I did, indeed, resign. It was a union job so I was working under a union contract. I suppose I could have gone to court and sued them for not giving me my last check without having to waste my time with their "exit interview", but it was easier to just go through the stupid interview and sign their document, get my final check, and be done with them.

Thanks, GAL. I saw you here and knowing your legal expertise, I was hoping for verification that my theory made sense.



No, I don't think they're gonna show all that either.

What I want to see is the BB producers telling Chima that the cost of the mike she destroyed would come out of her stipend and her reaction to it! I doubt we'll get t see that either....but I suppose we'll find out in a few hours!

GAL, go to your Control Panel, then access Add Remove Programs.

You should see an option for setting the program defaults (fourth down on the left of my pic)

There you can choose your default web browser...you should be able to change it to Mozilla Firefox there....

Good Luck!!

Kep, your instructions are perfect. And my screen doesn't have Mozilla Firefox as a default option - just Explorer and 7.2. Sigh. Thank you for your help, though, it is much appreciated.

Just 4 hours and 8 minutes.

GAL... if you just installed Firefox, it may not show up in your list of browsers until you restart your machine.

Just a thought...

Kep, when I'm trying to install Firefox I keep getting a "Netscape doesn't know how to open this program."

Is there some program from my system that I can choose that will help install Firefox (obviously I'm trying to install from their online site, not a disk)?

Topic? 4 hours and 46 minutes to go.

Download the file instead of install...

When the box for Firefox comes up, save it to your desktop...then run it from there...

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/p/google.html

Google Chrome is another good browser... we use it here at work to trouble shoot user's PC's.

I would download it and install it from your desktop.

Make sure netscape is closed when you try to install...should help...

Loved the way they escorted Chima out of the DR. I bet she knew she was out of the game when they said, keep going.

I believe Chima may have been very shocked when they told her don't bother sitting down and she was escorted out the door and off the property. I don't know how she can explain that as a voluntary leaving!!!!

That was heeee-larius. Don't sit down, we're going out here. I wish we had seen her face lol. I'm not sure how that translates in her mind to quitting.

I was thinking the show made big bucks tonight. Could Chima with a good lawyer and sympathetic judge have blocked CBS from using her image?

Gidget, I am sure her contract gives CBS rights to her image, likeness, etc for X amount of time.

She can't sue and tonite's ep should show any lawyer she might retain there is no case.

Her journalism career appears to be Twitter based, she's not a reporter she a twit via Twitter.

You even have to sign things like that to watch a filming sometimes.
