Not sure if I'm unlucky or Jack doesn't get out much, but I've seen a fair number of web sites that say "this site doesn't work with Version 9 of Internet Explorer." I switched to Firefox a few years back and have never looked back. I sometimes waste my time and fire up Internet Explorer if some web site doesn't work on Firefox even though it almost never solves the problem.
I haven't noticed lately, however, I have seen some web sites reporting that they are now seeing more Firefox users than Internet Explorer users visiting their site.
So, there is nothing wrong with Firefox and I think you'll find that Windows Live Mail is more popular than gmail as a way to read and write e-mail. Microsoft's free security software is OK and certainly beats all the free ones that start with A. Industrial Strength it is not, however, as the lack of acceptance by Corporate America will testify.
As for John Sykes, he said he is using Windows XP on an underpowered computer, so his choices are more limited than yours, Jack.
