What homepage do you use on your computer?

I've been using My Yahoo for my homepage on my computer. It is set up to show calendar, stock market index, weather (local), news - world, national, financial. No gossip.
I don't like Yahoo and would really like to change to something better.
What do you use?
Is there a better alternative?

I created my own, with links to different pages I also created - a page full of political links, a page full of firearms links, etc. Not fancy, just a table format.

It wasn't hard to do, but I did it first using Netscape - that will give you a hint about how long I've done it this way.

Using something like Word to do this would be like using a 12-pound mall to kill a mosquito.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

I use Firefox, blank page, with some tabs that get me to the important stuff like SIGFORUM.

I am a loyal member of SigForum and come here several times a day.
But I prefer a homepage that contains many pieces of important information at a glance, such as calendar, stock market index, weather, major news, but not gossip and liberal nonsense.
So I've been using My Yahoo, but I can't tolerate the liberal bias anymore.
Is there a solution?

I have Chrome set up to where every time I start it, it automatically opens two tabs: my Gmail Inbox and the Sigforum Main Page.

No reason to foul up your problems with bad pages, right off the bat.

I have Chrome set to open where I "left off," which normally means work gmail in tab 1, work task list (smartsheet.com) in tab 2, personal gmail in tab 3, sigforum in tab 4.
