I find that it seems fashionable to leap to the attack of IE. IMO (after
about 15 years of use) it`s much maligned and although probably not perfect
I`m perfectly happy with it. Horses for courses, as they say. I do,
however, find that some emails print out very small, but you can always copy
and paste into word and change the font if it`s something you really want to
keep. Have you asked whoever installed your new hard drive about it?

I work a lot with developers. They hate it. If you knew what they had
to go through, you'd change your mind. Everything we do, such as adding
Flash, has to have special script just for IE. I wanted a forum to be a
special size . . . won't work in IE without changing tons of code.
That's why I don't like it. Of course you're used to it for browsing.
But you have no idea what people on the other end of your browser had to
go through so you could see it and enjoy rich features (if a site has them).
We're stuck with IE because Microsoft threw it at us and people think:
"Free!". But they don't understand what's really at stake.
Another great, new browser is Chrome by Google.
I see that Microsoft is now competing directly with Google. bing.com
They have a new search engine (plus other things). Been quite a blitz
on the television.

My nerds have started discussing it, I shall wait to see what they
say.
One thing I would NEVER do with IE is online banking. I bank online
and pay all my bills online, shop online etc and would never consider
doing it through IE as it is too leaky. Both banks I use stress using
FF for more security.

It would certainly take a lot to shift me from Google - I`m sure it`s
unbeatable.

Why would I change my mind? I don`t really care what problems developers
have - all I can say is that it`s never given ME any problems! ;-)
