Mozilla - Firefox and open source

I have been a fond follower of various open source movements. This stated mainly due to my friend Saisatish, who is an evangelist of various open source communities and a contributer.

Yesterday, I was chatting with couple of colleagues in office, when someone mentioned about firefox. I knew that my brother was using it for a long time and had told me in the past about it. But never instilled in me enough enthu to actually try it out.

Some how yesterday got the idea of trying it..... and now this blog is from firefox.

Do i like it ... too early to say, but i am definitely feeling my days with IE are over !!!!!

A few configs and i was up and running.

There are 2 real geeks in my family. First being my Brother in law Venky who is a great fan of new technology and gadgets. Second being my brother. He is another extreme, who bought a MAC since he hates Micrsoft products. He is doing his Ph.D in cardio-vascular systems, but I guess he is more a computer geek than his medical stuff.

Now, guess who is turning to new products, technologies and gadgets !!! I can't believe the influence and power of these affacionados.

Over the last 1 week, I have been into Picasa, Hello, Thunderbird, and Firefox to name a few of the software which share RAM space on my laptop now.

Well.. off to more surfing and learning from my technology gurus.
