I wonder if the autoupdate by default feature of Firefox is a credit. I also suspect that the MSIE 7 and 6 users are either locked into an old SOE, just don't know any better. Margaret, here is a superb visualization you may be looking for. Can anybody spot the unintended irony with Firefox? (compare with logo)<br>

<br>Last year we co-installed our curriculum machines with a couple of browser versions (MSIE, Firefox, Safari from memory ..) Really, it wasn't all that big a deal once I worked it out with the techs and we didnt burn in hell. We didn't burn in hell and I gave up being the browser dictator. It let me test out some Firefox addons that I used with my ITA class. Staff or Student users can jump into the pool dressed however they wish (within reason).<br>
<br>My son's school mandates a browser flavour (and version) to view the
school Intranet from home and I enjoyed the hour-long home challenge of making it work on his Ubuntu computer, another parent might not have been so patient. (BTW folks, HTML 5 has killed off frames and some goofy layer
powered menus so move on. There is NO excuse to at the very least not design these for crossplatform browser compatibility as even my new school has done.)<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 9:26 PM, Mark KELLY <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au">kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It's not the sort of domain that attracts <i>really</i> technologically-savvy visitors, let us say.<br>
If nothing else it goes to show there are some dinosaur-browser users out there, and that MSIE 6 is not as prevalent as I thought it was... <br><br>And c'mon Firefox!<br><br>
