Techy snarls

I had to *bike down* to *College St* in the *rain* this morning to tell Mr. Wei to install the East Asian language pack on my new machine because you can't get it off the net as you did in Win9x, second hand machines don't come with an install disk, and BB tech support doesn't answer their phones. This also means I can't have Chinese enabled on the work machine. On the plus paw, Mr Wei became markedly friendlier when I said I needed Chinese and Japanese enabled.

Since my ancient Photoshop won't work in XP, does anyone have a pic-editing program they'd recommend?

Why in God's name does IE7 no longer list sites visited when you right-click the back button? Is this a move to make everyone change over to Foxfire?
