Well, on the ACCEL computers at school I've been using Mozilla Firefox for the entire semester. After reading an article that drew my attention to the fact that IE remained stagnant while other browsers were evolving I decided that I'd install it on my machine. I was using the internet when the first browser wars were going on and I remember that every few months either Netscape or MS would release new updates to their browsers. It was a very exciting time. Then MS won, and it ended for a while. But now, others are starting to make a comeback. I'll use Firefox for a week or so. If I like it better than IE, she gets to stay. If not, then I kick her to the curb and go back to trusty, if decadent IE. There IS one thing that I like a lot more in Firefox - tabbed browsing. It's the reason why I downloaded Netscape 7.1. But for some reason Netscape doesn't know how to view a few pages made for IE where Firefox has no problem. So Netscape is just "collecting dust" in the e-version of the term because I haven't used it in ages. I also like the toolbar that isn't just google, or yahoo, or MSN. It's all of them - you just click on a button to change. I just used dictionary.com's toolbar to double-check that "decadent" meant what I remembered it meaning. Yeah, I could just go to dictionary.com and search for it, but it's such a CPU cycle saver for it to already be at the right page. I don't need to waste my time loading up the main page if I don't have to. That's why I've been using the "run" command in windows o launch web pages instead of loading up the content-heavy MSN.com. Tune in to see who wins...

Test it yourself by getting Firefox @ http://www.mozilla.com

(Hopefully this week with Fall Break I can catch up with my school work and do some more substantial blogging)
