Ray,

Right now you can get viruses on your system simply by using IE to browse
web pages. There are THAT many security holes. A hole was just discovered
this week in the latest IE 6 with XP Service Pack 2 that is really bad, for
example.

Firefox isn't squeaky clean, but it was written with security in mind and
it's open source, so anyone can patch the thing if they want to.

One of the Judges tonight said that the Tech at her office
updated her machine to Sp2 and she no longer has any of the email
addresses for the rest of the judging center. To say she was
unhappy is mild. She was out for his head. Back up and print
special files you may have to re-input.

And it is a huge memory HOG.
