It does seem to load pages a bit slower than IE. And, I’ve got Google Toolbar on both, so I’m pretty much comparing apples to apples. And, albeit at the end of several hours on line, and via dial-up, it simply didn’t want to load my blog. It loaded the Blogger home page, then eventually, and oh-so-slowly, opened the posting page. That was after a speed-up plug-in that is supposed to help; I restarted Firefox after the download, but not my computer.
And, yes, I know that Hotmail is webmail. But, it’s the most popular webmail. You’d think Mozilla would get a way to get Thunderbird to run Hotmail.
So, count me as likely to continue to use IE more. And, no, I’m no Gates apologist. I have a Mac at work, and like many things about it, a fair amount more than I do PCs. But, I don’t drink Steve Jobs’ coffee either.
Even aside from price, comparing a Windoze w/2000 to a Mac OS9, a PC has some advantages.
