    OL: there is a sort of Mickey Thomson sense of fun and accomplishment on these roads to madness
    After what happened to Mickey Thompson in 1988, it's hard to think of him in terms of "fun and accomplishment".

  2. Don't Worry, Browse Happy on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1
    I got rid of Intermittent Exploder and started using Opera four years ago, when my OS was still Win98. Opera was *way* better then, and still is.

    Since I got rid of Windoze entirely last year and replaced it with Linux, I've been using Mozilla too, and it's also way better than IE (which I sometimes use when I repair my wife's XP machine).

    What's interesting about diehard Win/IE users is that they're so accustomed to lockups and crashes that they've accommodated themselves to that experience, which I just don't have to put up with any more. Trying to explain to these Win/IE diehards that Lin/Moz/Op works better is like trying to explain to drivers of a four-door grocery-getter that a genuine sports car provides a vastly different driving experience: they just don't get it, and they don't have the skills to discover it for themselves.

    2MCM: I used to use opera, i loved the mouse gestures, the popup blocking, but i hated the ads.
    You could have either paid for the registration to get an ad-free version [like I did], or else hacked around it [if you were able].

    Small victiories...make everything work
    Naah, small victories are just small victories; and they're certainly not going to make everything work.
