  1. IE has only 3 purposes on EC Considering Removing Internet Explorer From Windows · · Score: 0

    1. Running web version of Windows Update.

    2. Obtaining a replacement browser such as Firefox or Opera. (IE has more security holes than Swiss Cheese)

    3. Accessing parts of Microsoft's web site that don't work in Firefox or Opera (I wonder why)

    Is your calculator one of those old solar ones you keep in a drawer? $0.99*8000 = $7,920

    Man these mac fanboys are brutal, but they are still Anonymous Cowards. My Crapintosh powerbook G4 boots and loads 1/4 of the time if i am lucky, then safari crashes before i can download firefox or opera, much less click on a link to "scareware"

    And no hard drives are hard drives and linux can boot of almost all computers i have, can't say the same about any other os
