Two interesting things I bumped into this morning that seemed to compliment each other nicely. First was an article on c|net titled Sites bow to Microsoft's browser king. The article talks about people who are still designing sites that are made to work in IE and ignore other browsers. Then I run into this post by Adam over on his blog:
One of my heroes, Peter Ford writes on schoolblogs.com: " "If a student leaves my class with the idea that Internet Explorer is the only internet browser then I have done him or her a disservice. They should have experienced Opera, Mozilla or others in their time under my influence. Then I can honestly say that they are learning generic skills that will equip them to make increasingly important choices as they reach the 'real world' threshold." [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]
While I do admit to using IE as a semi-primary browser for a while, Mozilla easily went and toppled it from its place. And I love the features in Mozilla. I haven't seen a popup ad in ages (though they do still sneak through now and then).
