Nice. I'm enjoying the switch so far.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Enjoy it while it lasts: if tradition has any meaning, then as soon as commiters of computer crimes take note of when Firefox is more popular than IE, they'll target it.

They won't. Their targets are evil corporations such as Microsoft. It's easy to create a virus that could corrupt a Linux system, after all the kernell is being kept by a 17 year old kid. Firefox is a rebel against Microsoft tirany.

BTW, has anyone tried to use Hotmail with Firefox? Dosen't it look kinda weird?

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

They'll still target Firefox. Not everyone is in it to bring down Microschlock. Some just want a big audience and the growing legions of Firefox users will soon be the perfect target audience. They difference is that Firefox has a tendency to come up with patches and fixes much more readily. Or so I've been told.

And, yes, Hotmail does look a bit weird in Firefox. But you get used to it.

I'd trade "Ultimate SpyWare Magnet"

for "Hotmail Looks Weird" anyday, though.

I can go along with that.

Unfortunately I sounded like I was talking about Yugioh trap cards.

D'OH

I was surprsied to see a local business computer running a Firefox screensaver today. I was like "Cool, it's firefox!" and the owner said she used it. I didn't blame her.

Could've been worse; you could've sounded like you were talking about Pokemon.

Yugioh is far more insipid, commercialized, and stupid than Pokemon has ever been.

At least Pokemon started as a set of superb videogames.

Yes, and TMNT started as a fantastic set of independent black-and-white underground comics. It doesn't take much to screw something up, does it?

Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

It took 16 years! That's quite a bit of time IMHO.
