Hi marysduby,

I've installed Firefox on all my PC's at home and my office PC. I allway liked the idea of a browser that is no part of a operating system... since I entered the internet on a 30486 under OS/2 2.0 and a netscape browser. yeah I am that old. (grin)

I've used OS/2 for a long time before I was forced to step over to Microsoft 98se because most of the kids-games did not run proper under OS/2 4.0.

In short: I did not liked MS from the begining, it did things I didn't wanted, it had bad ( no ) printspool support, unstable and uses to much memmory ( still does ) all of this never made me a MS addept while MS did some good thinks as well, for a broad world wide audiance...
Since three and a half year I'm using W2K now, what is become equal or almost the same in stabillity and managebilitty as the "old" OS/2 from several decades ago....( I'm really getting old ). My wife was always using IE and outlook express and I spend quiet some nights removing virusses, worms and other illegal objects... ( maybe that's why I am so old ) So when I was busy installing my "own" PC I installed Netscape 6.0 ( browser and mail client ) right from the beginning ... Now I still use the same mail client ( a.k.a. netscape 7.1 or Mozilla 5.0 ) but Firefox has become my favourite browser.
My wife's one and a half year old P4-2.7 with XP-home, three spyware removers and a automatic updating Norton anti-virus active is already loaded with illegal objects that should not be there, and is ready for a fresh re-install, while I still working with the installation from the begining....

Finally ( or at least the last month or so ) my wife now understands why it is a build in risk when a interface ( a.k.a. browser/mail client ) between your OS and the WWW becomes a integrated part of a operating system ... it does not belong there she is now using Firefox and likes it...
