I’ve got a new computer…

Actually, it only feels that way. I downloaded Firefox 3 this morning onto my laptop, and so far, so good. I’m sure the bugs are there and all, but I really do feel like I’m running a new machine. And isn’t that telling? Enough of the applications I use on a daily basis are web based, so from my user viewpoint, my browser is my computer.

So for those of you who wonder if the desktop wars will be between Microsoft and open source, I say no. The desktop wars are between Firefox, Safari and Air.

    10 years ago, someone said that the “network” was the computer. Funny how things change and stay the same.

    Almost everything I do is browser based (with the exception of corp Email+Calendar). Which, in retrospect makes me wonder why I wasn’t more hesitant to upgrade to 3.0…

    Yeah - that’s for sure. Now that I have the new iPhone, I realize I really do have a new computer. It fits in my pocket.
