# Right, well, it's not my PC, it's the boyfs. So up to him.
But will suggest Firefox to him. He's a developer & programmer so should know better than to use Internet Explorer, ha, ha ;-)I think it's still a good name for Colin though!

# I despise browser bigots.
Let people use what they want. f others are too dumb to use a browser without attracting a host of BHO's then that's their lookout.

# What's a BHO?
It doen't bother me using Internet Explorer. I guess the outrage about people using it is an anti Microsoft thing?

# there are alternatives that
a)come from slightly less loathed companies if you care about that stuff.
b)have fewer security holes
c)are targetted by fewer malicious individuals because of a)

Plus they are pretty and smell nice.

# downloaded firefox a while back
cos i'd got used to IE 7 or whatever the tabbed one is at home, but didn't want it on my pc. and last week found out that a website i need to use for uni doesn't work on firefox because it's not secure.
laugh, i nearly did

luckily there's an IE tab option i downloaded so i got round it

# Browser helper object
or in the case of most of them, b hell objects. IE is fine, you just have to be a bit more savvy to keep the crap infiltrating your system.
I use firefox, it's a great browser. I just don't go for the whole ' haha look at you, you don't use the same software as me, you must be a dork' routine.
It's the same as the apple versus microsoft argument. Personal choice becomes less of a choice when people try and railroad you into following their choices.

# I will have a mac in my new job! Wooo! Start on 18th June. Had one at old job too, I prefer to PCs.
I'm not so wild on the Microsoft domination. Will chat to the boyf. about it & see what he thinks. For all I know he could think Bill Gates is a God. I hope not!
