I had a handy word processor that only required 16k of memory - it was for a ZX81, but it still had much lower system requirements than office!<BR/><BR/><BR/>To counter the points on the security "myth", Firefox doesn't claim to be exploit free. It is, however, opensource, which means that there are quite a few extra eyeballs looking for problems than even Microsoft can afford to employ. <BR/><BR/>Also, unlike IE, Firefox doen't try to <A HREF="http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/m-005.shtml" REL="nofollow"> beam my data back to the mothership</A>.<BR/><BR/>I should point out that I'm not connected with Firefox or the Mozilla foundation in any way, but I am a happy user of their products. I should also say that my partner, who uses the same products under Windows, (I'm Mac/Unix) doesn't find them quite so good. So depending on your platforms, YMMV.Auntie Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042427357649111620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29039243.post-1160106087902771632006-10-05T20:41:00.000-07:002006-10-05T20:41:00.000-07:00www.firefoxmyths.comwww.firefoxmyths.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
