Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.

Ditch Microsoft Internet Explorer

Wednesday, July 7, 2004 04: 42 PM

  • Perhaps it's time for the average PC user to ditch Microsoft Interent Explorer.
  • It seems, as of late, it is increasingly dangerous, craptastic and no longer being given an ounce of innovative energy by Microsoft.
  • Frankly, Microsoft won the browser wars then gave us the leftovers, which they keep reheating in the microwave when ever there is a problem.
  • Going to use Firefox instead. It's baked fresh daily.
  • Once Firefox was loaded on our desktop PC at home I said to my wife, "When doing anything online, just use Firefox -- please don't touch Internet Explorer...ever...ever again...it's dead to me now."
  • BTW -- if it wasn't for our home desktop PC, this post wouldn't even exist -- I've been on a new PowerBook for a couple of months now and loving the experience so far...
