[Year 12 IT Apps] Browser stats

Thu Mar 8 14:26:58 EST 2012

Most people use what their computer comes with. Typically IE on a PC and safari on a mac.

We are a mac school but at least our macs are installed with safari, firefox and chrome for students to select. Safari is the ICT depts recommended option but i find it useless on some sites (eg moodle, RM Learning- our learning platform but that is another story (or dare I say nightmare)).

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
