getting off my windows dependency

I have several comments on this interesting thread.

Conf files are helpful but many of these will reflect personal
preferences.  I've looked often at some conf files that have been
shared over time and I'll find parts that look interesting and helpful
but other parts I would totally disagree with so I usually end up
rolling my own.  Yes, I'm experienced now so perhaps would sing a
different tune if I was new to this stuff.

Somebody mentioned tab controls or tab navigation.  I use both linux
and windows and I don't mind tab controls at all.  The latest Firefox
for windows allows the opening of links in tabs and you can use
ctrl-page up and down to cycle through the tabs or I think there's a
way to open the list like a standard windows tab control.  These tabs
are definitely far better than opening separate instances of the
program or separate processes.  Someone mentioned separate consoles or
subprocesses or inferiror shells to run other tasks.  That is hardly
a way to deal with the exploding of web documents.  Screen is an
interesting way to have "multiple windows" but still, I don't think
web browsing could be accommodated this way.  Hmmm, interesting idea
if a text browser could some how open up another screen window for
links when a tab browsing session is desired.

Actually, it comes to mind that w3 for Emacs might enable web browsing
where one could simply scroll down tthrough the page since you're in
an emacs buffer.  This would surely work with emacspeak anyhow; but
that's another subject:).
