Only slightly less than wonderful

I'm a stubborn old salt, very stuck in my ways. Very few software products can successfully change how I do things. On meeting UCSD Pascal, I dropped all fortran and basic, and dropped Pascal on meeting TurboC; MsWord did not change me (nor did any of the font painters), but after I encounted Emacs in 1988, I never looked back; when I finally could afford that first SVGA card so I could finally run Yggrasil Linux, it was goodbye forever to Windows. There's been others, all of them rare and wonderful life-changing things: Netscape, Java, Google ...

And now, Mozilla 1.0. My first thought was "how am I ever going to use a feature like that" but within only a few days use I'd programmed my own sidebar panels, reconfigured for multiple printers and became hopelessly addicted to mouse-button-2 opening new tabs -- Mozilla 1.0 has change the way I surf in inreparable ways. It's maybe a hyperbole to say it put the fun back into surfing, but it's also not very far from the truth; at the very least: Welcome to the 21st Century Browser Wars (hey Bill! call in your strong-arm goons 'cause we're back for another round, only this time we're older, wiser and oh are we ready!)
