Funny though, I'd like to know how she'd deal w/ IE7, that UI threw a lot of people for a loop.http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by Streff ( <a href="http://">http://</a> )<br /><br />Terry: You also missed out an "est" on the end there, mate. anyway.. <br />Dave: love the article, and the site generally. I think most computer literate folk have the same experience with parents/friends when it comes to recommending a change to the way they use thier own machines. No one wants, excuse me Terry, "Nerd" talk, because it confuses them. Tell me about the cubic inch capacity of my car engine and my expression will glaze over as fast as any technophobe discussing cross-browser compatibility issues. <br /> Tell me it will be easy to use, not need fixing, and wont blow up, and i'm happy. There is a large element of the computing world which is designed only for the consumption of the computing world, everyone else needs to know what things do, not so much how they do it, or why.http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by Dave Child ( <a href="http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/">http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/</a> )<br /><br />terry: Calling other people nerds ... while reading (and commenting on) blog posts about firefox? Really? <br /> <br />Pot, meet kettle.http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by terry ( <a href="http://">http://</a> )<br /><br />You really fancy yourselves as experts -most of your thoughts are typical nerdish rubbish - De Gustibus non disputatumhttp://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by jhs5577 ( <a href="http://">http://</a> )<br /><br />Members of my family were like your mom. But now they use Firefox not because of any thing I said, they just like it better. They don't understand tabbed browsing, adblock, cookies.....I gave them all the reasons that Firefox was safer....but until they saw a reason they could understand I was just a geek talking trash........http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by Joris Vincken ( <a href="http://vincken.net">http://vincken.net</a> )<br /><br />When installing Firefox on my parents computer I changed the Firefox icon to the familiar IE icon. They hardly know anything has changed (the change to IE7 would probably been more difficult than changing to Firefox).http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by Dave Gifford ( <a href="http://www.giffmex.org/bloghome.html">http://www.giffmex.org/bloghome.html</a> )<br /><br />Awesome article! I needed a good laugh. I know people who are the same way. I try to get people to swtich to Firefox so they can use TiddlyWiki, and they get all thingy about both ideas. Nicely written comedy / personal piece. Found it with the wonderful Stumble Upon extension...for Firefox.http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by Dave Child ( <a href="http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/">http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/</a> )<br /><br />About time I updated anyone interested on the situation - I finally got her to ditch her Vaio POS and buy a Macbook. Before the upgrade she kept saying things like "It's Fine" despite a five minute boot to Windows time. Now she loathes her old Vaio. She loves the Macbook. She's getting better with the web too - so much so that I may have to remove this article in case she finds it!http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by mums are all alike ( <a href="http://">http://</a> )<br /><br />My mom refused to believe that adding RAM was a good idea. "leave it the way it came" was her reasoning. I finally went to her house and installed it when she was out bird watching. She is much happier with it ("it's so fast now") but has no idea that she has 4 times her initial RAM.http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/article/mum-vs-firefox/comments/Comment by John Lo ( <a href="http://www.myspace.com/googlygoogly">http://www.myspace.com/googlygoogly</a> )<br /><br />I can completely sympathise with this aticle's author. I switched my Mum and Dad over to Firefox from IE a couple of months ago. <br /> <br />It's so amusing at times listening to them try to adapt. <br /> <br />Oh and by the way, my mum refers to her browser as 'Yahoo'. Genius! Haha! <br /> <br />Good article : D
