Private Sub BeginNerdTalk() I started the interweb on Netscape 4.7. Even when IE was out, I used Netscape. I then slowly switched to IE (this was back when it was 5.0 or something I forget). Then Mozilla came out with its new Netscape 7.0 or some shizzle. Tried it, hated it, went back to IE. Tried Opera, tried it, hated it, back to IE. Firefox came out. I tried it early on, liked it, stayed for a bit, but just missed IE for some odd reason. Went back to IE. I’m a programmer/IT guy/HTML designer. I know IE doesnt’ give shit about quality of the underlying HTML code. That’s why I always check my pages on W3C or some shit. So far, I’m a pretty clean coder. 🙂 End Sub ---

Ewww… main() { printf(“Use a real language for fawks sake”); } I’ve used IE all the time, tried Netscape, hated it sooooo much. Tried Mozilla, hated it still. Tried Firefox, thought it was okay, stuck with it. Formatted, now I’m using IE, since I don’t miss anything from Firefox. And tabbed browsing is annoying, not convenient. Even with Firefox I never used it. ---

IE integrates nicely with Windows, Firefox does not. I dont know what it is with my system, but Firefox cant even display animated gifs without using 100% CPU power (P4 2.8). ---

Road: COBOL? :roll: Considering how much I’m on the interweb and all that junk, I ran MS’ Anti-spyware on my system and it found only 3 things, all of which are used by BearShare (which isn’t a big deal cuz I hardly use it). Ran the same spyware on my bro’s computer, and found 23 spyware items. :noes: All depends on how you setup your browser’s security settings.
