i long ago gave up on religious evangelism of browsers. i know this might strike some as a surprise, but it’s been my experience that the intertia of the status quo is just too great. that is until recently. it doesn’t surprise me a bit that mozilla and its offspring are at 200,000 downloads a day.

as craig says, you know the “damage has been done” when i can convert 3 familial laggards to firefox in one week. i’m not saying there’s going to be a tipping point reached any time soon, but i do know that for the first time in, well, forever, the proverbial grandma’s of the world are looking for alternatives.
