LightninJoe, I'm in Portland right now!

Not that that's significant. I just noticed that's your location.

Visiting? Or are you from the area?

Just visiting a friend. I'm usually in the Tri-Cities, Washington. Not amazingly far away, but far enough away that it's only the occasional visit that brings me here.

But, but... I loved reading the Niebelunglied in Middle High German.

I've used IE7 since beta1 thru RC2. I like it. That said its not fun to run on a computer with only 512MB RAM. I also use FFox but I like IE7 a little more. I like the polish of IE7 and the way it renders pages over FFox by a tad. But then I like the look and feel of Vista and IE7 is definitely designed to be in that style. FFox reminds me of the fugly X desktops you get with most Linux distros (KDE, Gnome, doesn't matter).

You've heard of Firefox themes, yes?

For years, Microsoft IE has long "allowed" and displayed html code that was not in W3C standards. Microsoft being Microsoft (the majority), has always had a tendency to do what they wanted.

Back when Netscape was still strong and had a significant portion of the market, I used to code websites. YES, as a coder, I always checked to make sure that my site worked and looked right in both browsers. I consider not doing this to be the fault of the coder.

Firefox is much like Netscape (same kernal) in that is represents and displays html exact according to W3C standards.

I use Firefox for everything possible because it is more secure. Only for certain sites that require some Active X controls will I use Microsoft IE (only sites I trust).

As a Network Engineer I have to manage so many applications that require ActiveX. It was a great idea really, but like anything else, abused.
