Is there anything more annoying

[Norfolk And Chance]

Use Firefox, go back one screen and re-submit.

I do exactly that with Internet Explorer. Fox is a hateful browser

IE sucks 

(Time for a pointless argument  )

Chrome is everything.

On IE I am ignorant. Never tried it and I never will. On Chrome, I have it installed and it's lean and mean and bloody quick  but it never really grabbed me. I'm happy with my Iceweasel aka Firefox. With Torbutton and RaiSmth extensions I can do anything. Maybe they work on Chrome as well.

I think the Firfox logo is way cooler than IE 

It's ugly. It has too much going on in it.

Freeware is basically a windows product. There's little if any on Linux (there wouldn't be any point). You might be surprised if you find out a bit more about linux. [End of plug, sorry]

Oh, I know. Pardon the use of wrong terminology. Windows is in no way freeware though - you do pay for it if you want to have legal rights to use it.

Truth to tell, I don't know where my irrational hatred of free stuff comes from... I probably just don't like nor trust anything that is free and aint food at my parents' place.

money>brains?

Right now, I doubt there is a single person in one kilometer radius more broke than I. (Quite a lot of people, before you suggest I'm in a cabin on topa' Everest)

[serious mode]Ok, if money is an issue then all the more reason not to scorn FOSS and linux. I've been around computers since 1968 (mainframes exclusively at that time so I wasn't literally "around computers"). This was back in the days when programs were fed in on ticker-tape (I'm not kidding, they really were). After a while we switched to cards (the rectangles with one corner sliced off) and so on. All this to say, I use computers for work/play/communication. I can't afford not to have good software. That's why I use Linux. Nothing cheep or cheezy about it. If your happy spending your money on M$ then go for it! Your happiness is my happiness. If funds are short, Linux might be worth a look, or not. It's totally your call.[/serious mode]

Seen one of those machines... Big.

Anyways, when I need the software I tend to find the coin to spend on it. My economy fluctuates between zero and quite alright, but I would not call money "an issue" - I just don't save any.

Content is the right word. I'd pay what I pay gladly for MSoft Norway's support system alone.

If funds are short, Linux might be worth a look, or not. It's totally your call.

Oh, Linux is quite ok. However, it's not quite as simple as just money. There are other issues like the named support, the user interface, compatibility and so on. I have Ubuntu on one of my machines and that one is the least used, not entirely out of my dislike for open source free stuff.

Of course it is up to each and everyone, and for me and for my computer needs, Microsoft products are, at least for now, the better solution.

I agree completely. So in reality you're a happy lumpy and not a grumpy lumpy.  That's comforting.

Nah... i manage to combine the two  Happily grumpy. also known as grumpily happy.

Nah its all about Safari!

Nah its all about Safari!

This. I use mobile and regular versions of Safari. I like them both.

[Asmodean]

Safari actually makes sense. For a phone, at least.
