What's your Home/Start page?

[audiyoda]

I've been having this little debate with a buddy -- he says most Internet users, no matter how savvy, either don't know how or just don't change their start page from www.microsoft.com, www.msn.com, or www.netscape.com (sorry Opera users, don't know what their default page is).

So I want to know what your start page is. Include the where's,why's, what's and so on if you want.

Here's mine: FoxTrot (http://www.ucomics.com/foxtrot/viewft.htm).

<A HREF="about:blank" TARGET="top">Cant stand a webpage</A> because about 90% of links I click are to a new window! Am not a fan of reusing windows.

[Horsepwr]

I use Google search page, loads quick, great searches and all other places on web that I use are in my favs.

I do residential remodeling and check in here:

http://www.oldhouseforums.net

People talk about most everything on old houses and thier lives too.

[CaptTuna]

I use www.insideneworleans.com . It has all my local information I like and has no moving parts. I just hate flashing banners.

[RJ]

Just blank page.

My favourite web pages are stored in the "favourites" folder, and when I want to search something I use my Google Toolbar.

Google now that I have dial-up. When I had cable, it was PCMech.

[twoguise]

blank.....never know where I might go....:D

[Mr N8]

Google it is for me.

[BFD Deadeye]

www.msnbc.com , after reading some headlines with my morning coffee, I head right over to PCMECH to see if I can help/or be helped.

[Orcmonkey]

www.cnn.com

I like to see the headlines as soon as they happen.

[Jenni]

Well, when I use IE, it is PCMech. But, since I spend most of my time using AOL's browser, I have no start page.

[doctorgonzo]

www.excite.com, where I can see some headlines and track stocks, but I always go elsewhere from there.

[DrZaius]

Google for me.

[Redo40]

My start page is Yahoo, but I have IE 6 setup to search with Google from the address bar.:)

[Gnerma]

www.cnn.com here too. It's amazing how a quick scan of the headlines can keep you up to date. It loads a little sluggishly though.

My parents used Yahoo! search as their homepage for years and would always look to me for help finding stuff online. I quietly changed their homepage to Google and they rarely ever need me anymore :)

[Blakhart]

My startup page is my ISPs webmail log on page(makes for fast email) and I keep cool stuff like Pcmech under favs.

[Jason Padgett]

http://www.nccops.org/

..because I created the page and so I can check my e-mail. :D

[HAL9000]

At work, it's www.pcmech.com ... where else? At home though, I like to use my ISP's home page www.cableregina.com because I see any updates that they may have regarding maintenance outages, new viruses, whatever.

[KR0316]

I use www.excite.com.

[shecky981]

i keep it blank. i always goto a different place each time.

[Nuclear Krusader]

Blank page. Since I'm not connected to the Internet all day I hate the message 404 whenever I open IE and I'm offline.

[villiageidiot]

Yahoooooooooooooooo, with the google toolbar.

[Eric H.]

pcmech.com

[RenegadeKing]

I used to use google.com, but since I found pcmech, it comes here :)

RenegadeKing

[q2418130103p]

Google.com (In Opera)

Thats where I would be going anyway, If not here that is :)

And a blank page in IE cause its slow enough already.

-Jay

[Blakhart]

HAL, you have made sense once again.
If I go back to the isp home page Ill be notified of outages.

[Kassia]

google.com

[archie]

Google on most PCs at home and the Intranet homepage for work.

[homie27]

ZDNET tech news (http://zdnet.com.com/2001-11-0.html?legacy=zdnn)

Great way to keep up with everything.

[lil Jimmie]

My homepage is Google.

[DragonNOA1]

when i got my first windows computer it was from gateway, which defaulted its IE homepage to (gateway.yahoo.com). since i mainly use my yahoo mail account and it has the top news stories, i have just kept it as my homepage

[troysvihl]

Yahoo, because I check my yahoo account every hour or so. Used to be www.msn.com because I used troysvihl@msn.com for my email. But then I switched to troysvihl@yahoo.com for the better email service, IMHO. (haven't tried msn latly though so maybe it's improved.)

[mark70]

Dogpile-me and that search engine go back many moons. Always just left it that way- don't know why-another mystery of life I guess.:D :D

[Reedimus]

google

[edrod13]

I have YAHOO! since I usually check my mail first and it loads super fast with dial-up.

[David_Jones]

about:blank for me.

Never know where you might want to go....

[azscary]

I use the Earthlink Personal Start Page. As an employee I get a free dialup account I use when traveling and part of that is the start page. It already has Google and I have two start pages I can customize to my heart's desire. Earthlink is not my ISP because I already had a contract with MSN for DSL service when I went to work for Earthlink. When that contract is up I will switch to Earthlink DSL because it is much faster. Best effort 1.5 GB download and 256 up. Besides as an emplyee it is only $25 a month opposed to the $50 I pay now.

[whr2206]

mine is ign.com for games, and news....

[alexmacdonald]

oem.microsoft.com

[Charliey]

mine is about:blank, because although i almost always go to hotmail when i first get on the internet, i hate having to wait for it to load when im just opening up netscape for something else.

[breathtaker]

mine is http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/

got to love my anime
