I personally never did use IE. Back in the day I used Netscape Navigator,and did so for the longest time. That was even when the Company I worked with promoted the use of Wal-Mart connect a simplified version of AOL, which used IE at that time. I always connected to the net then minimized it and the used Netscape. Needless to say I was quiet surprised to see that connection change to Netscape knowing AOL had done the same. But by that time I to had already switched to Mozilla Firefox prompted by information and net friends although at that time Mozilla Firefox did not have all the nice features Netscape Navigator had at first I found it it to be a hard transition. Since then Mozilla Firefox has came a long way bringing me back to it after using Opera for awhile.

I recently was talking to the CEO of the for mentioned company who is now getting his doctrine in a highly regarded technology field his out look as well as mine IE (Microsoft baby) is used by all major players and universities so get use to it,and useing it, nothing is going to out it.

I wonder though was the fall of Netscape Navigator due to AOHelL? Will Firefox be next? Seems like all good open source programs that work great are bought out by major players then put to ruin like Norton buy out of Sygate.

If you liked Netscape, you can use the colour scheme still (on Firefox) which is available at the Mozilla website :)

There is some confusion over what Amazon mean by international. Us...

Wow that could be good news, I hope they aren't going to add watermarking to the mp3 songs that you buy from Amazon MP3 so they can track what you do with the songs that you paid for to see if you upload them to p2p networks & if they'll have the same price internationally, unlike iTunes that charge different prices in different countries.It could also end or slow down iTunes monopoly on legal download sites.I find that it's not fair that they charge the US .99$ per song & they charge Aus.1.69$ per song.It should be the same price in every country.Somebody is being greedy, *cough* Apple. :roll:
