Microsoft's Internet Explorer .. tends to be more susceptible to
Internet security risks than its competition ..

As a precaution, many Web surfers may want to seek alternative programs
that don't follow Internet Explorer's technical makeup.

The best-known of these is Netscape, www.netscape.com ..

A better option may be Mozilla's Firefox, www.mozilla.org, a new upstart
created by some of the designers who concocted the original Netscape ..

...

Another choice is Opera, www.opera.com, which tech site CNET.com gives
its highest marks ..

...

However, be warned: Opera may take a bit of getting used to, especially
for novices. Unlike Mozilla and Netscape, the program doesn't operate
like Internet Explorer, and its many moving parts may confuse some
people ...

Oh, bullshit. A four-year-old-could use it. Okay, a four-year-old
smart enough to know IE is a piece of ****.

Who are you? The group moderator?
Oh, no! Just another M$haft poster using Outhose Excreta, & since you
don't know any better than to use that, an E-MAIL client, on usenet, we
wouldn't expect you to know _what_ the **** you're doing at all......

An announcement was made at a press conference in the UK in which
Newham, a borough of London, had just decided not to go open source
after all and instead to sign on with Microsoft because their "software
was cheaper than open source and more secure". The room spontaneously
burst out laughing, so what does *that* tell you.

That or another ID.10.T error. I'm capable of both, although I try to
minimize them.
