I just bought a new Janome 350e from the proceeds from our yard sale! Four days of long days but it was totally worth it. I am having SO much fun with it!!

Now here's the question is there a shareware or freeware program that I could download so I can see what the design is? I have downloaded a lot of files to my computer and have no idea what they are! I know I should have downloaded and renamed my files but being a newbie I was really dumb.

And while I am here asking you computer geniuses questions, do you know of a netbook friendly browser? And by that I mean, is there a browser that doesn't have an inch or more of banner above the viewing area? I am so tired of scrolling up and down trying to see files!

PS... I know how to spell members but can't find a way to change the topic title!

I use Google Chrome. It works fine for me, and you can get add ons too.

Google Chrome hasn't been as stable for me as Firefox. But firefox has too much clutter!

Thank you for your suggestion! Chrome works great on the desktop (THAT's the word!)
