Friday 9/17 - Firefox Browser

I enjoy using computers. it has been a great career choice for me over the past 25 years. I have always excelled at using Microsoft software. But not everything that Microsoft does is the best. One aspect is for web browsing. They were not first, but they knew how to win the race. Netscape had a better product at first but fumbled their software development and ended up selling out to AOL.

But part of their legacy lvies on. Before they sold, they started a project called Mozilla.org. this week they released a new, free browser called Firefox. it's available for downlaod at http://www.mozilla.org

It is fast and has a better polish than the current version of Internet Explorer. But best of all, it does not have the links to the MS Windows operating system system. This makes it less vulnerable to web attacks that have plagued the Net over the past two years. Don't be fooled tho, you still need virus protection on your PC at all times.
