Your version of IE would be an old version I imagine, more suited for your hardware. If you tried IE 6.0 on your machine it probably wouldn't run well either. FIREFOX: Minimum Hardware * Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500MHz or greater) * 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater) * 52 MB hard drive space |

| 271210 | 2004-09-11 05:10:00 | Internet Explorer opens quicker than any other browser, except in a fast machine, simply because Internet Exporer is tightly integrated in the Windows operating system and therefore is already partly running when Windows starts. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 271211 | 2004-09-11 05:20:00 | Nope, Firefox is around 12 secs to open here, IE won't open at all. Heh heh - it is not partly running -( partly poised to die), Linux appears to reject it. Alas poor IE, it knew itself too well, and too often (in the biblical sense). |
