FireFox day July 15th 2006: Become a Friend of Firefox!

http://www.worldfirefoxday.com/en/index.php

"If you can convince just one person to switch to Firefox before September 15th, you'll both be immortalized in Firefox 2.0's source code"

:)

* Pretty neat!

I helped them identify & debug a problem a couple years back @ another forum (totally self-built forums engine/homemade code by Philipp @ NTCompatible.com) & they wrote me back, THAT DAY no less, & came to visit + debug the problem w/ us on the forums there...

(Talk about "personable & fast customer service!" It impressed me to NO end in fact!)

I thought it was WAY cool of them...

NOW, however, admittedly? I tend to use Opera 9.01 more, but either is a decent browser (better than IE6 is @ least).

(Ah, memories...)

APK

P.S.=> This ought to "go over big" here imo, many firefox users... the majority here in fact, which Jimmy 2004 proved to me via a POLL he took! apk

Ah, not really... not when compared w/ some folks out there & in certain areas of specialization in this WIDE & very VARIED field!

(Plus? I do try nowadays to "have a life" & all that (away from computers that is)).

:)

* It's just "time-served" in this field is all!

(That alone will make you an "ecclectic man for all seasons" on many levels in this field, & all that b.s.!)

APK

P.S.=> Ever see the film "Groundhog Day" w/ Bill Murray? Pretty much makes the point... I am OLD! lol... apk

Heh, maybe...

Mine should be in it already quite possibly, because of what is noted above & the bugfix, but not sure & I never checked/asked (& don't really care)!

:)

APK

P.S.=> Still, if folks are "fans" of this software & have supported it? They ought to get their shot @ it imo... why not! apk
 
I would do it but I haven't even tried the Firefox 2 Beta so I don't really think I should. Firefox is really evolving quickly now.
