    Maybe "Integration with operating system" would help.

    FireHydrant is a great OS - If only someone would write a web browser for it.

    There's plenty to keep them busy for the forseeable future. Lemme see, there's :

    Fire - fly

    Fire - storm

    Fire - engine

    Fire - hydrant

    Fire - alarm (add-on for the calendar module)

    Fire - bird (doh! no already had that one)

    Fire - at will

    Fire - in the hole

    Fire - those responsible

    Fire - those who did the firing

    Fire - ooh oh oh I'll take you to burn

    Come on now, join in everyone ...?

    Here is the road map to the future of Firefox:
    1. Rename Firefox to Foxfire.
    2. Add better support for XHTML and CSS 2.
    3. Rename Foxfire to Foxxy Brown.
    4. Change the XML parsing engine to support new DTMLs.
    5. Rename Foxxy Brown to Thunderbird (#2).
    6. Put in a proactive pop-up blocker that DoS attacks websites that have pop ups.
    7. Rename Thunderbird (#2) to Internet Explorer Jr.
    8. Rename IE Jr. to Underpants.
    9. Collect Underpants.
    10. ????
    11. Profit.

    Step 10 is going to be the hardest.

    Yeah, i stopped using msn messenger, er.. windows messenger, or whatever it is.. the name changed so many times I just couldn't handle it.. ok.. it was always obvious to me what it was, and ok the icon didn't change too much.. but the name.. the name changed.. my life was ruined.. I broke down at work and needed a months holiday.. my wife divorced me, the dog died.. and the world as I know it came to an end.. all this from the name change.. but finally i just stopped using it, and went to investigate more promising and viable entries in the IM sweepstakes.

    It looks like some furred animal is humping the Earth.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that...
    And before you flame me, I'm a staunch Mozilla fan and this was posted using Firefox.
