You will Never get me to change! I say down to your silly Mozilla! All hail Microsoft!!!!!!!!!! Tremble at the power and awesomeness that is IE 6!!!!!!!!!!!! :devil:
Been using mozilla for damn near a year now, and switched to Thunderbird for e-mail as soon as it was released. I only use IE to make sure things look right on my website in it, since that what the majority of the visitors are using. The poor, ignorant fools.
I didn't think to hit the Save as file type box. I just saw the save as web page. thanks.Quote:

Not because I particularly like it, but it does the job and my work environment uses it.
No point in me using something different, and I have enough bandwidth to counter the nanosecond speed difference. :p

I've already saved almost 2 seconds today with Mozilla.
:D
I use Firefox as my main browser, and Avant Browser for IE compatibility. Works good. :thumbs:

I've been using Avant with java turned off, but I'm downloading Mozilla right now to try it.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
IE is the target of every Virus writer and hacker on the planet... If Mozilla was the #1 browser out there they would be the target... It doesn't mean the IE is less safe... It's just everyones target...

So if enough people would switch, maybe the virus writers would have less time to spend writing viruses and exploits for IE and they'd spend some time on Mozilla and Opera and the rest of them.
There is no good reason to continue using IE unless you are Bill Gates' son and your inheritance is being threatened.
Thats what I'm getting at , enough start using it and they'll be complaining :D .Quote:

Stop listening to what you hear and try it yourself. I haven't seen any rendering problems and I visit a pretty wide variety of sites. I would think spending 5 hours trying to get your homepage back would be more of a nuisance than a page looking a little off kilter, tho I haven't experienced that yet.Quote:

Or would you just keep drinking the water and hope that they catch the dumpers?
Seriously, it takes about 2 minutes to install a browser. You don't have to remove your existing one, if you don't like it you can switch back and uninstall.
This quest is much more difficult than I had anticipated.
Keep you IE updated and your fine...
Stop trying to go with something other than microsoft because of your dislike of Bill gates or Microsoft...
P.S I've run other web browser before... Unimpressed
