Post #201,443 by cwbrenn 3/31/05 12:37:40 PM Reply	I'm pretty sure there was... IE didn't get "web-enabled" until version 4 or thereabouts... before that, it was just a browser, right? IE 4 is when they started the whole "web is the pc is the web" thing, back when we were all waiting for that "push" technology to make the internet obsolete.

Something like net-connections or something like that. Frontier-something maybe. Nope, still not there. Guess the refresh rate wasn't fast enough and the ECC failed too. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]

Post #201,508 by CRConrad 4/1/05 1:14:02 AM Reply	Yes, but that's Internet Explorer you're talking about now The Flaming Baptist is a bit muddled: IE didn't get "web-enabled" until version 4 or thereabouts... before that, it was just a browser, right? Uh... And what, exactly, would/should a [Web] browser BE, if not "web-enabled"?!? IE 4 is when they started the whole "web is the pc is the web" thing Yeah, and that's when Internet Explorer became commingled with plain Explorer. (In your mind too, apparently.) But just plain Explorer -- which is what you SAID in the post that started this sub-thread -- had taken over from the old Windows 3.x File Manager as the (default), uh, file manager (and main graphical shell) for Windows with the introduction of Windows 95. Which was before the introduction of Internet Explorer. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.) Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

Plan B, we'll retreat to the rave-cave and hope our tribal beats and epiliptic movements will cause the machines to commit suicide due to sheer irritation.
