OT: Mozilla vs. IE (was Re: [AT] trimming the fleet and not being able to go to site

[Mike Sloane]

I have been using various forms of Mozilla for the last 10 years and 
only use MS IE as an absolute last resort, as when I find a site that is 
so tightly bound to IE that nothing else will work. However, Bo, the 
browser version that is now offered is called Firefox 1.0. Thunderbird 
1.0 is the Email application that I use in place of MS Outlook.

Everybody has their own experience and requirements, but I generally use 
any alternative to a Microsoft application, if I can find a good one. In 
place of MS Office, I now use OpenOffice 1.1.4, which is freeware and 
works just fine for my needs.

I use the above applications in Windows 98SE and XP Pro. I have not yet 
gone over full time to LINUX, but if things keep going the way they have 
  been with MS, that may be my next step.
