I guess I'm not doing that sort of stuff, that's why the tabs don't make sense to me. I rarely have more than  a couple of windows open at a time. I go to one site, read whatever I'm interested in, than go to the next. I may have 3 or 4 open, but that's kind of rare.
So on my quik link menu bar in IE6, I go to DAZ, for example, then when i'm done, I click the rendo link, then RDNA, etc etc...so it basically works like a tab, I suppose, but I don't have the other sites open.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
