I've finally had enough of Microsoft's IE and it's daily security problems.

When it comes to software, I am definitely into pain avoidance, and for the past how-many-ever years, I have used IE simply because it was the universal standard and worked with every site.

But lately, the pain of having my machine violated due to Microsoft's inability to pull it's collective head out of it's collective a** has been greater than the pain of switching.

And I can honestly say that the Firefox browser is a) pretty dang cool, and b) works with just about everything. There are, of course, sites that will only work with IE, and for that I keep a copy of IE around just in case, but my default browswer is now Firefox.

Give it a try, maybe you'll be a happy ex-IE user like myself. Or don't, and have your bank account emptied. happy
