Firefox 3 has become the first non-Microsoft web browser to overtake IE6 in market share. (Note this doesn’t even include lumping in FF2 so it’s a straight up comparison). The open-source browser climbed to 24 percent of users in February while IE6 dipped to just over 22.6 percent, making Firefox the second most popular browser by individual version. Although Internet Explorer 7 still leads with 40.8 percent, the Firefox increase narrows the gap as Microsoft’s browser has remained largely flat since at least July. Microsoft’s client is also limited to Windows while Firefox is also available on Mac and Linux platforms.

I am packing. Yay. And in a little bit I’ll check in for my flight. I am excited. I am going to be laptop free so you will not see me online until, likely, Monday. I might sign on Sunday night if I’m not too tired. I will have my cel but will be unlikely to turn it on except around lunch on Friday just to check in at the office.
I got lots of bills in today’s mail.
