Which Organizations Have Standardized on Mozilla?
andy brunetto asks: " We are investigating email clients to deploy as our "standard" at the college where I work. I'm trying to find out who is using Mozilla for their email. When I say "who" I mean organizationally, as I realize 99% of us geeks already use it. What organizations out there are rolling out Mozilla as their standard web and/or email client, and why? Yes, we are considering using Thunderbird, once it is final. Thanks!" Hopefully this will make companies realize that the Internet isn't comprised of just IE users.
My organization is entirely devoted to using mozilla and mozilla based products.
And yes, I AM looking to expand our current one man workforce.

Sorry, but the real geeks use Mutt ... graphical email clients are for geek posers ;)

Mozilla is incredibly customizable, and you don't need to jump through administrative hoops (IEAK) to customize it. I "Snoopified" my menu bar in a few short minutes of hacking ... so my "Fizile" menu now says "Bizounce" instead of "Exit" ... what, I never said the customization was useful.

No one is going to touch mozilla until all the crash bugs are closed. I've had a crash bug open since moz 1.1 and its still not resolved.

/) in the mozilla URL bar. then click on the crapzilla.html file that is shown in the file list.
From the bug you mentioned:
Follow these instructions EXACTLY. Open up your version of mozilla (1.4 or nightlies)
Make sure you have the recommended version of java installed (1.4.1 is recommended by the mozilla 1.4 release notes, or any other version will do)
Start up the javascript console and the java console in that order.
make mozilla fill 1/3 of your screen with the javascript console taking up another 1/3 and the java console the last 1/3.
put the 3 files (crapzilla.html, crapzilla.java, crapzilla.class in your root drive (c:\ or
type c:\ (or
wait till the counter counts down to 1500 and you will see a alert box. press Cntrl-Q to exit mozilla, click on the javascript console and hit file->exit, then quickly switch to the java console and hit the close button.
mozilla should now crash with the talkback window.
Yes, I'm so sure that this particular bug is going to prevent millions of people from adopting Mozilla-based products.
No one is going to touch mozilla until all the crash bugs are closed.
Mozilla -> crash here and there
IE Exploder -> pop-up, pop-up, pop-up
Mozilla Email -> crash now and again
Outlook -> Mails to everyone in your address book of the latest Nicaragua money that was made by Penis enlargment pills.
The internal struggle of what to use continues for me!

IE is so much easier in every way.
Insert the following LINE into an html file and open it in IE:
<input type text>
I have IE 6.0.2600.0000, and this single line will crash IE producing the MS "talkback" dialog. I don't have to even load a java class file to produce the same type of behaviour. So obviously IE is superior!!!!
LOL
