Batch-o-Moz: Firefox, Thunderbird, Suite Released
bluephone writes "Today Mozilla.org has unleashed a triple threat; Firefox 1.0PR, Thunderbird 0.8, and Mozilla Suite 1.7.3. Wow. Lots of news in all three fronts. so, for your release notes, sys-requirements, what's new, and download links, here you go. Firefox, Thunderbird, and Mozilla Suite. Enjoy."
I always thought the names were gonna change as usual when firefox reached the 1.0pre release.. something like firewolf or fire-extinguisher :))
fifteen jugglers, five believers
Firefox 1.0PR, Thunderbird 0.8, and Mozilla Suite 1.7.3 are in a bar and they look over and see Jesus.
So they all buy him a pint and send it over.
Jesus drinks the three pints and then comes over.
He says thank you to Firefox 1.0PR, who then improves to Firefox 1.0
He says thank you to Thunderbird 0.8, who then improves to Thunderbird 0.9
He says thank you to Mozilla Suite 1.7.3, who then disappears.
If you ask me, the number of downloads would explode if someone wrote a Firefox extension to correct for Slashdot's new IT colour-scheme.

Ok, so you didn't. But if you did
Oh come on...
Friends don't let friends use IE.
Why are there only 19 people folding@home for slashdot?
The main thing that keeps me from using any PC-based email clients is the fact that I LOVE webmail.
Hell, I'm just waiting for someone to come up with a web-based browser. I'd switch in a heartbeat!

Speaking as a 39 year old geek, I'll have you know not all of us old geezers are totally tech-phobic. In-between our Geritol and AARP meetings, we still find time to send out an electric mail or two over one of these new-fangled adding machines.
I remember when we used to send messages with a slide rule. Of course I'd have an onion on my belt while doing it, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

As a 36 year old, I resent the implication that we're all old fogeys. ;)
As someone who will be 36 in 16 days I have to remind you of something. We are now old enough to legally date women half our age.
Oh, and in six more years we can buy them drinks. ^_~

I'm still waiting for user education to catch up. If I here one more person ask "Where did the Internet go?" when I remove the IE icon ...

You were lucky enough to have onions, all we had back in those days were tulip bulbs! Try shampooing your hair with one of those, and *then* you'll know the true meaning of hardship.
Plus I never figured out how to enter all those #*&^! European diacritis on the slide rule (even the German models we used at the time for some reason didn't have them)
It seems kind of appropriate to have a folder full of porn called "sex" on the fucking desktop.
By summer it was all gone...now shesmovedon. --
