Hi,
I've been reading a few of the discussion threads and one thing worries me. The idea behind UNIX, i.e. an open source, easily customised, powerful, easily upgradable OS, seems to have been forgotten. People seem more interested in "pretty" web-pages and "smooth" fonts. So what if you can't use <marquee> tags? The web is for sharing information and ideas not having flashing text and silly welcome sounds. If you don't like a browser crack open the source code and have a tinker with it, that's the whole point of open-source. It's not that difficult and it's suprisingly rewarding. I'm not looking for a slagging match here, I just want to make people have a think about why they use a UNIX OS in the first place...

Although I agree with your visions you are incorrect about the idea of "UNIX".  That is the idea of GNU/Linux and FreeBSD but almost all other UNIX OSs are not open source. In fact the FreeBSD license is so lax that it incourages the taking of it's code and turning it into proprietary software. Hell, M$ even rapes it. Originally the source code was licensed to various vendors (for a large fee) so that they could produce their own operating systems for the hardware that they designed and built. They did not redistribute their source code (and still do not).  

Try and find the source for Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, SCO, etc. You won't find it. The only two UNIX or UNIX Like operating systems that I am aware of are GNU/Linux and BSD (Apple's Darwin is also open source but it was derived from BSD). But I certainly hold the same feelings for the Internet and open source that you seem to hold.  That's why I like Linux and BSD so much.

What a shame that such a good browser (back in the 3.0 days) fell so far...

At least we have MOZILLA!  IT'S MOZILLA!  HOORAY MOZILLA!

Haha!  Classic!...

And to further on Swollen Red Ass Ranger Software's post:

Who fucking cares if a certain browser supports what tag?  A simple Javascript or a PHP line will take care of everything for you.  You do know what navigator.appName does, right?

Bob Im proving a point... AOL IS SHIT! I was contracted wit them for a short period of time and it seems to me that the Australian version sucks! Now contracted wiv iPrimus (http://www.iprimus.com.au), I feel that they are shit and I will be moving onto TPG or Norex at the end of the month (http://www.tpg.com.au | http://www.norex.com.au)... Ohh and one more thing, ENABLED HTML!!! What is the use of disabling it? So people cant use a href tags, but they can use URL tags?
