Haunted browsers and bushes

Periodically, Firefox is used as an alternative to Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla. Granted, it's a prettier interface, but seems a tad wacky at times. This post will be uploaded while using Firefox. The last time that was tried efforts were lost in cyberspace. Of course, that could be the result of several items that come into play - browser, internet speed, load (time of day) and user error. Anyway, Charles Cooper has an interesting article over at CNETNews. His opinion basically reflects my feelings about this dilemna.

Before you Microsoft Nazis launch an all out attack let me reiterate; I DON'T like the idea of using ANY product that is owned by AOL (you can smooze it all you want , but the truth is AOHELL is lurking behind the Mozilla project) and I do think that Microsoft will eventually either correct the situation or improve it a great degree. Still irritates me that Gates and company choose to act like it's nothing for security to be in jeopardy while browsing the net. I'm sure some will flame anyway because I've spoken harshly about Bill and the gang. They did write the code for Windows ME (Millenium) and it was very, very bad. Their next attempt at an operating system was Windows 2000 and it was very, very good. Okay, enough.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, the birds are singing, the sun is shining, humidity is low and the high will be in the 70s. Good day to pressure wash the house and cut down the nasty looking Hawthorne bush that looks like it belongs on a Munsters set. Hmmmmmmm, Halloween is coming up...
