Hey guys! like the show... but please! quit the Fx fanboyism! go check out Opera. it got all the features of Fx (and most of the "new" stuff in Fx3b is nicked from Opera 9.50 beta which had it eons ago!)

And yes! Opera does userscripts (thats greasemonkey scripts for you Fx guys), it also has full UI customization...

I use on average 250k to 300k for memory usage on Firefox (i have ALOT of tabs) and i am interested in seeing how much it may drop with Firefox 3.

The program is getting better and better. Don't miss Patrick, although I liked his pressence. Don't like him at R3! REALLY like Robert in the Pilot's seat!

Garnett and Robert seem to have good chemistry, very good geek content. Liked the show.

Someone has to do a DL.TV cartoon t-shirt with Lloyd on it. Seeing him makes me smile. But he is also the reason why I am DLing the show after watching it onlne first. I want to see the segment again.

Death to dipswitches!!
