But my analogy is still partially correct, in that nowadays I
sometimes chase the odd sports bike on my battered BMW R100R on our
South French mountain roads. I've been a bike courier for a few years,
which somewhat affected my driving style.

I didn't know there were so many beta testers on this list. Duly noted.

When I read the comment it brought to mind two bikes I had. One was a
Kawasaki KZ-400 twin. Small, light, quick and agile. About as much fun
as you can have with your clothes on around town, but get it out on the
highway and it wore you down in no time. The other was a KZ-750 four
cylinder. Big, heavy, powerful, haul your butt down the road so fast the
telephone poles looked like pickets in a picket fence, but you could
ride all day on the highway.

Booting 11.04 to the logon screen you'll find an option to choose
'session'. You can select Classic GNOME for the traditional 2-panel
layout you're used to.

Mozilla provide the source code and binary installers for their
browser. You can get them from their website.

Solved on both fronts over a week ago. I'll keep Icecat in mind to
look at down the road.
