Don't you love your Mac Pro? Although, you should see if you can get on e of the new ones that just came out last week or so.
I have a MBP I bought in Feb. and I love it. I also have a G4 that is 7 years old and it runs perfect.

I've heard that firefox is so much of a target for viruses because so few people use it . . .

Best estimates for Firefox market share are something like 15-20% total, but for tech sites the percentage is a lot higher - 66-80% is not unheard of.
Some of it is due to market share, but the fact that Firefox is open source does help as well.

Uhm, yeah, I was actually explaining why Firefox isn't that big of a security hole... I didn't know you made that typo until you pointed it out.

Possibly because it's not loaded down with "features" that no one ever uses - which I don't doubt is true with IE. But I doubt that any browser will speed up my page loading. I need something faster than dial-up.

I've used Fire Fox since day one. I love it. It's faster and it's not prone all the crap IE7 is prone to.
Good product.

From what I hear, Firefox is prone to its own crap.

I've used it since it was first released and I'm not experiencing problems. Initially there were incompatibility issues but those have gone away over the years....I've had many issues with IE....

Got me there. I don't chat online or play games.....
I just read the news, research, email and post on this wonderful forum. I guess I'm not pushing FireFox to its limits.

Version 2 did have its share of problems, and if you load Firefox to the gills with extensions it can be buggy. However, the new version - Version 3 - is a significant improvement over Version 2.

The reason Exploder is so prevalent is because it comes with Windows and advertising. Firefox does not advertise and you have to downloaded it, so non savvy people do not go get it. Just because something gets more use does not mean its better... look at the election going on right now. Barry is in front because of advertisement and the MSN's favorable coverage. Would you say that Barry is better?
Windows is a crap product, however there isnt a viable alternative for what I use my PC for. Trust me, If I could get the same games to run with Linux I would never use another MS product. again I caution you that just because it hold the market, does not mean it is better. I'll take performance over popularity anytime.
