I was reading a post and somehow it hit the topic of home pages. So I got curious, what is your guys home page. Is it pcmech.com, google, or like my pc the weather channel. Every time I get on I know what is supposedly gonna happen.

doctorgonzo · 03-31-2005, 12:04 PM

I don't use homepages anymore. I use the Session Saver extension with Firefox, so when I shut down all my tabs are saved and pop right back up when I open up Firefox again. I just continue working. The first tab I have, though, is PCMech.

Stryker · 03-31-2005, 12:06 PM

At home: http://forum.pcmech.com
At work: http://news.com.com (CNet Tech News... yes I'm a huge dork... please refer to signature.)

I use Firefox at both locations so I have my Google search built right in to the top-right corner (hooray for FF).

**rjfvillarosa** · 03-31-2005, 12:41 PM

My own web site is my home page, (just coz it's mine), but:
in the order of the "click" usually it's:
1. national news channel back home
2. local news channel back home
3. pc mech

**Alaron** · 03-31-2005, 01:02 PM

Google. I'm always searching for something, so I find it very convenient.

I never knew that existed until I read your post. I just installed it, how convienient!

There are so many times when I have to get off the computer but I cant because I have over a dozen tabs open and I wont remember all them and I cant take the time to bookmark it.

**Force Flow** · 03-31-2005, 06:49 PM

IE hompage is gmail
Opera homepage is google
Firefox is google

...just because they load quick and are a good test to check for an active net connection

**thefultonhow** · 03-31-2005, 07:01 PM

I have 12 pages that I've set to open every time I start Firefox:

CNN.com
PCMech Forums
LiveJournal friends page
Tom's Hardware
Newegg
Slashdot
Engadget
Thefacebook.com
the knowlege base for my college job
Techbargains.com
XPBargains.com
Slickdeals.net

I'm thinking I might add Craigslist Baltimore just for kicks.

ComputerNut · 03-31-2005, 07:08 PM

I got my own 'homepages' with a bunch of hyperlinks organized to seperate categories, each category in its own HTML file.

CN

Propain · 03-31-2005, 07:27 PM

with Firefox I have My Page with Yahoo , it has all news headlines and my fave links to fave sites . and for Opera I have the pcmech forums.

I only use IE for Windows updates so Im not sure whats the page.

rightcoast · 03-31-2005, 07:37 PM

Slashdot is my homepage pretty much everywhere. It's changed a lot, but it's still a good place for unmoderated discussion.

IE on the Windows machines is still MSN, like Propain, I never even changed it

**kram 2.0** · 03-31-2005, 08:02 PM

On my desktop: ATP Tennis (www.atptennis.com) and PCMech forums.
On my laptop, just ATP Tennis - I still have MSIE on there since SP2 is installed. More peace in mind.

SonicVanguard · 03-31-2005, 10:58 PM

www.foxtrot.com at home and in the studio.

jimmyrules712 · 03-31-2005, 11:44 PM

i have the default firefox page right now, mainly because it loads fast. on IE i have google, also for the same reason, and half the time i end up going to google immediantly anyway.

PCmech is usually the first or second page i type in tho, after opening my browser.

**HAL9000** · 03-31-2005, 11:51 PM

www.cableregina.com

**pam123** · 04-01-2005, 12:03 AM

The NY Times on-line edition.

David M · 04-01-2005, 01:01 AM

Google is my homepage. Thats cool about Firefox having more than one homepage...I will have to try it.

ZeratulsAvenger · 04-01-2005, 01:04 AM

It's blank, then I open a section of Blogs, then I go to PCMech, and then another list.

mattg2k4 · 04-01-2005, 01:26 AM

I don't use a homepage, but usually the first link I click on in my toolbar bookmarks is email.

mystvearn · 04-01-2005, 01:33 AM

ANIDB.net
something like that movie info site (forgot the name) but for anime.
And other anime stuff. Actually I have azround 7homepages all in tabs

mystvearn · 04-01-2005, 01:50 AM

shadowbreaker513 · 04-01-2005, 01:55 AM

Normally - www.comcast.net

LOL, except I'm not quite at the level that I pronounce it that way yet. I'm in the Towson area.
