Today, on a popular webmaster BBS I started a discussion on the merits of Mozilla Firefox versus Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Some compared the Firefox vs IE debate, and the whole Opensource visionquest, to the MAC/PC debate:
One fellow commented:
"This whole Firefox vs. IE crap reminds me of the PC vs. Mac shit. It's funny how everyone that used Macs praised them like they were the second coming of Christ and all of the newer operating systems for the Mac are pretty much the same as Windows with their little fucked up twist on things."
To which I responded:
"Small difference: If you were a Mac person back in the day, you were like a designer or some other quirky creative type and you suffered the high-priced software monopolies happily over Starbucks with your other Mac buddies. Collectively, you helped Apple hold on to a smidgen of the PC market.
If you are a Mozilla geek, you spend an hour writing some bullshit little whistle or bell for FF and Google will send you a million hits a day...more
What's the best browser? Firefox!
