Firefox, Internet or Search Engine? You Decide
 Firefox T-Shirt (click to enlarge) |
Today I was in REI. I had on my Firefox T-Shirt. The guy helping me with flashlights said “Oh, I love that search engine!” Contrast that with this story: When I first bought the shirt my daughter, who was six at the time, climbed up on my lap and asked “Daddy, why do you have a picture of the Internet on your shirt?” Who was more right?

One vote for Firfox! There are so many extensions and add-ons, it is better than Google! Try the aardvark extension, way cool!

One of my friends went through something similar with her parents. She was trying to explain to them why Firefox was a better choice than IE, and they finally asked "So I use the orange Internet?" "Yes, mom, use the orange Internet."
I'd pay good money to see "Use the orange Internet" on a Firefox T-shirt.

I love it. I work with people with PC trouble all the time and one of the first things I do is switch them over to Firefox. I don't understand why its so foreign to them.
Maybe I'll start telling them to "Use the orange Internet" from now on :)

Unfortunately, I'd have to say Google is the internet, but FF is the best way to access it!
fyi: your certificate is out of date
Now to see what I've missed out of the last 50 posts, damn G's Reader goes backwards though!
