In a nutshell, what are your system specs? You may find something at a garage sale. Nothing really recent or spamtastic, but probably more functional than a ten year old machine. As for firefox crashes, I've had far fewer problems with it than IE. You may also look for 'lite' versions or previous versions of other competing browsers, like opera or something. Haven't looked much myself 'cause I'm content with firefox.
As far as Voadam's power goes, I'll OK the power switch on the grounds that he hasn't used it yet and now would be a good time before you all get in the thick of it. This will be the one and only oportunity, however, aside from the normal swaps allowed at level up time. Knock yourself out. Let me know when you're updated so I can review and edit the first rogues post.
