Get off your ass, get a job, and one day you'll be able to buy your very own nano-eyes, much like you can now buy toilets and cars and televisions. hmmm.....I wonder if there is a lot of people out there that are making 6 figures or more so that they can afford this technology. I guess one day 20 or 30 years from now when the price tag drops significantly. Also I was wondering if you are suggesting that people that live in countries with social health care dont have jobs?
For example, why do none of their computers (even the top of the line Dual Dualcore CPU $3299 PowerMac G5) come standard with more than 512MB of ram
Good point on that one. I know a normal user is fine with 512 K ram but once you get processor/ram intense progs running on your puter you would definately like to have the extra 512K kicking around.
One key thing that is a big reason for my wife using IE though is that it supports JAWS for windows which is screen reading software. When she uses JAWS on Firefox it reads 1/4 of the content at best. I personally like using firefox better than IE but my wife is not a newbie to computers and is restricted to using IE just because of no support for JAWS in Firefox.
Standards are often silent on lots of details.......Which browser complies with the standards, or do they both? Well, that's anybody's guess.
I agree with you on those two points. What are standards in the IT world anyway? What is a standard one day is obsolete the next and a new and improved standard is brought in. Just my two bits on this one.

I meant 512 Meg. It was late last night and I probably wasn't thinking to straight when I made that post lol.

lol and maybe the word *ducks* in there hinted at the subtle sarcasm of the comment.
