Technology Force - Useful Web Tools

Got an old browser? Tired of seeing little red Xs or missing plug-in icons all over your screen? To get the most from the Internet, we suggest you equip your computer with the latest tools. The newer browsers, for example, can actually increase your download speed.


	Netscape Navigator or Communicator Download Netscape, Inc.'s popular browser. Netscape® makes finding information on the Internet fast and easy. This new version has lots of features!
	Internet Explorer Download Microsoft's® famous browser. The 128-bit, high security version makes Web banking and shopping worry-free. It includes new and improved options and a more attractive interface.

	Shockwave/Flash Enjoy the best of the Internet with Macromedia's® Shockwave®/Flash® player, which lets you view high-quality streaming multimedia content in a Web browser.
