impressions of Thalwil, Switzerland

Introduction

Welcome to our life in Thalwil: a personal blog with views and news of lakeside life near Zurich, Switzerland.

Thalwil

This quiet lakeside town is located five miles south of Zurich and easily reached by train, boat or car. Now a commuter suburb, it has preserved much of its charm as a former farming village and boasts a strong community culture as well as a wide range of shops and leisure activities.


Thalwil includes the hamlet of Gattikon and borders on Rüschlikon, Langnau, Oberrieden, Horgen and (across the lake) Erlenbach.

Firefox reclaims the web!

Congratulations from Thalwil on the launch of Firefox 1.0! Finally we can all surf the web with a browser that's not only faster but also SAFER and smarter. Hey surfing just got cool again! Welcome to the iPod of web browsing! Welcome to Firefox!


Firefox is a neat sleek browser made by a a group of volunteers. And yet it completely trounces Mighty Microsoft Corporation's venerable Internet Explorer. Fed up with countless browser windows? Firefox has tabbled browsing! Sick of popups and spyware? Firefox has ad blockers and advanced security protection so you can surf the net without worrying about worms and viruses. It also protects your privacy, has an integrated Google search, supports RSS newsfeeds, etc, etc.


Don't take our word for it: read what the BBC has to say about Firefox. Oh, it's also recommended by eWeek, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, Forbes, USA Today and many other media and internet experts.


Try it for yourselves: You can download Firefox in 15 languages for Windows, Mac and Linux. Switching couldn't be easier!


Oh, when you've rediscovered the web with Firefox, you'll probably also want its easy safe, spam- and virus-proof e-mail cousin Thunderbird...
