G'day JohnthePyro,
Thank you for your question.
At home, it is e-mail and Internet browser. At work, I'd add a word processor, spreadsheet and calendar/organiser.
Answerbag isn't essential but a lot of fun.
Regards

The operating system. I don't really care which one but I am used to Windows XP even though I still put everything in classic mode. (I hate change)
Then a web browser but I don't care which one.
Then I have to have MS Office. I use Access, Excel, and Outlook everyday.

Custom made web browser? Could you elaborate on that just a bit?
by Zack on March 10th, 2008
I took a copy of Netscape Navigator, decompiled it, read the source code, then altered the source code to add several features and to change the way certain things and interactions are handled in order to improve security, then recompiled to get a different version of a working web browser ... I am the only one with it.

... one of the best features that I added was a double buffer for stuff like YouTube videos ... it lets me load the whole thing into a buffer, hold it, and even "save as" ... I noticed that other browsers do not allow this saving feature.

In do remember you saying that you are running linux. I gather one needs experience making these kind of modifications?

You need to be able to read Assembler source code and understand what the commands mean ... and then you need to be able write your own commands ...
