I have known Internet Explorer since I first engaged in  internet activities. Wherever I have worked in, Internet Explorer has been the default browser. However, I did the experiment I was asked to (change browser for one week), with the idea in mind of confirming my thoughts about the universality, suitability, friendliness of Internet Explorer. I changed by Google Chrome, and you know somthing?...... it was not as bad after all!!!

Google Chrome is livelier in colors and a lot friendlier with Google (THE serch engine I use). I decided to keep on working with it as long as a new browser knocks at my door!
