What's your Home/Start page?
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. -Craig |

Cant stand a webpage because about 90% of links I click are to a new window! Am not a fan of reusing windows.

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

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. RJ

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
