I can't resist the urge to raise the similarities between browsers and tv sets.
Everyone would be pretty pissed off if they all of a suddon were force to deal
with only on brand of TV.  This is why standards were instroduced so that you
can choose your own TV without the risk of it being unable to pick up a signal.

The same applies to browsers.  If M$ would stick to the standard, then there
would be absolutely no problems other than BACKWARDS compatability instead of
all this SIDEWAYS compatability that we have to deal with at the moment.

I must admit at this point that I am still using NS4 personally due to Mozilla
being to much like IE with many of the shortcuts and feature design being
altered.  (eg. F3 no longer repeats the most recent word search winthin a
document, you must keep using the find dialog).
