What's a good internet homepage?
The place I've been using for the last couple of years, My Way, has been increasingly unreliable and I can't access it from work through our firewall.

Most of us have them. A website that your browser takes you automatically every time you open your browser. I want a customizable page that offers news, weather and (preferably) TV listings. I use it as a jumping off point to all the other sites I frequent.

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry if my request wasn't clear...let me reiterate, a little louder this time....

I want a customizable page that offers news, weather and (preferably) TV listings.

If you don't have a constructive suggestion, please don't waste your time and mine.

I think you need to use ALL CAPS if you want to yell at us.

You do realize all the useless time wasting responses served a purpose by bumping your post so it remained visible.

Your welcome.
