Found something funny

(2004-12-19) -- Microsoft Corp. today released a new security patch for its Internet Explorer (IE) web browser which prevents users from accidentally or intentionally downloading the new free, open-source Firefox browser from The Mozilla Foundation.

"Firefox is a dangerous and contagious browser that could seriously jeopardize marketshare," said an unnamed Microsoft spokesman. "Unless consumers take action to block Firefox, it could speed up web surfing and return control of user computers to the users themselves."

The source added that Internet Explorer is a superior product because it allows computer experts, called 'hackers', to control your computer.

"Who would you rather have in control of your PC?" the Microsoft spokesman asked rhetorically, "Do you want an expert who knows every line of the IE code, or some bozo like you who just walks into Circuit City and buys the cheapest PC off the shelf?"

I like firefox, I am using it on my laptop as soon as it comes in. But I do not want to D/L it on the HP because my mom will flip out on me, saying I lost the internet.... Everyone I talk to says it is awesome, and much faster.

Heh, heh, heh... That's very interesting... I love FF when I can get it to work (apparently Win98 has incredibly crappy support for it). IE has automatically put so much junk on our computer before it's unbelievable. I think I want to be the one in control of my computer, thankyouverymuch, MS.
