I'm away on holiday in the near future. I don't want to take my Canon EOS350

pictures or photos - just some text?  

Saw this on MacUpdate tonight and I was curious about the purpose of

Firefox 3 is up to release candidate 1: I've been using it solidly for a
couple of days and it does apear to be quicker than older versions
(difficult to tell as bloomin' BT are the bottleneck round here).

I'm sure there must be some straightforward free/shareware software
around to `just give me a straightforward list of what's different on
each disc'.

this is something that has always annoyed me...
For instance I click a PDF download link and agree to open it in Preview
