> The thing I don't get is the "forward" button. I think I've used it four times in my whole life. If I want to go "forward" I just re-click the link that got me there in the first place.

I more or less surf the Web for a living (well, okay, to research products that I'm writing about), and I use the Forward button all the time. For example, I'll use it when I'm reading a twenty-some page computer hardware preview and I want to drop back several pages to re-read something from earlier in the report, and then jump forward to the page I was reading last, without having to wait for all the intervening pages to reload. Same goes for having a bunch of related PC hardware sites in the "Back" queue, and jumping back and forth to compare info (though usually in that case I'll have them in separate browser windows).

Does this help? Do ya grok the Forward button now?
