You mean like when I paid $40 for netscape navigator back in 95 and you had to download a plugin for every different thing and they wanted you to pay like $20 for the one that actually worked right.
Worse yet the browser would lock up every 1/2 hr and make me do a full reboot to make it work again, but IE on the other hand when first released would run for hrs without locking up or crashing and you could actually download a file the first time you tried. I think the only good thing netscape came up with was Composer.
So everyone says firebird uses web standards, well so did navigator and it sucked ass because you can follow all the standards in the world and still have a program that still doesn't work right because even though it is a standard browser most internet users by far *not just this site* use IE and so most website designers design for them since they are the majority of all users out there, sure they're newbees mostly but they are the majority. <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>
