Hi goanetters,
I tried to do some 'internet banking' when at my daughter's place using "Mozilla Firefox" and I had problems; No such problems with the very good and tried "M I Explorer". These new and free and open source stuff may be good but what's wrong with going with the good and tried ones?
Besides that, I must say that all this new 'stuff is free', because these producers have to break into the market; I wonder if these would have been free, if these were 'first' in the market. M I Explorer is and has been free from the start, anyway. So why this bias towards Mozilla and or Opera? I did not find any special juice. Let the competition decide, in the long term. In the short term, the customer will use the stuff that's most useful and free or cheap.
Its like when Banks first started 'Credit Cards' there were no 'Fees'. When they got us hooked up to using the credit cards, they started charging fees! Nothing in this world is free absolutely! Some one somewhere is paying for it. Goanet is free for us to use and abuse, but I'm sure someone or some source of revenue is behind the costs. There are sponsors and or advertisers supporting the 'open source' endeavours. This is a good thing! Let the Competition prevail!
I have tried 'weblog' not moblogs. The weblogs are free for only the first few days; after that one has to shell out or miss out. Is is the same with 'Moblogs'??

> The ideas behind Free and Open Source movements are being used far beyond the field of software technology.
> These initiatives and attempts touch upon a set of more fundamental values and questions governing our life, and the future of the society we live in, as well as possibilities for developing countries. I believe that Mozilla Firefox is one of the best and the most popular web browser available today. check it at www.mozilla.org
I use it and I found it just great ! If you do change to Mozilla -or are using Mozilla ..please do make some TIME to share your thoughts with us -
