currently manage (some of them are in operation for 5 years now). Topics
range from music to emulation, arcade gaming and commercial sites. These
statisics are the average based on the last 300 visitors of each site:
MSIE: 64.3 %
Mozilla: 20.5 %
Firefox: 14.8 %
Opera: 2.6 %
Konqueror: 1.2 %
Netscape: 0.6 %
Observations:
MSIE part is becoming smaller each month which is encouraging. Of
course, it's still the absolute winner on commercial sites measurements.
But is less used by a "younger" and more "tech" aware audience.
Mozilla is still very strong.
Firefox keeps growing.
Opera lost some users (maybe in favor of Firefox).
Konqueror maintain his rank.
Netscape has fallen.

I posted my site's stats a day or so ago, and my M$IE percentage is in
line with yours. It's currently at about 69%, which is a HUGE drop from
a year ago when it was up in the 90s. However, Firefox has a larger
percentage on my site than Mozilla (I'm a Moz user myself). My stats
are based on the last 1000 visitors.

That's funny...I'm an OLD, however very tech-aware, person! I started
in the mid-'80s on Tandy Xenix and have remained an *ix person ever
since. I despise all things Micro$oft and am therefore thrilled to see
IE's stats plummeting.

Sorry, I didn't mean that older (let's say more experienced ;-) people
aren't tech-aware... It's just that I noticed that tech related website
attracts less MSIE users. Same apply for website with content targeted
at a "younger" audience. In fact I should have made two sentences, it
would have been clearer.
Sorry.
Wow, Tandy Xenix! Wasn't Xenix a Microsoft made Unix?
I'm younger but as far s I remember, I was used to DOS (XT) and BASIC
(Amstrad) machines. There were several DOS on the market at the time.
When Windows 95 came out, I started to use Linux. But currently, I
mainly use Windows 2000 (office) and Windows 98 (home). Browsers wise, I
always used Netscape since the public internet arrived here (this was
the only browser we knew about, Mosaic was already history to us) and I
then switched to Mozilla very late (used Communicator 'til 4.8 and
switched to Netscape 7 before at last trying Mozilla because of the lack
of Netscape updates). Since then I kept it. I tried Firefox but I found
it less practical...

I love firefox , but it is not usable to me, because of a
download bug. See earlier post. I have Norton
AV/Firewall/Tools installed, which hasn't been a problem
until the last update.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??

When you upgraded FF to 1.0.1 the Norton firewall probably sees it as a
new program, different from FF 1.0. You may have to tell Norton to
allow FF to have access to the Internet.

It's okay! I didn't take any offense at all. And I know what you mean
about 'younger' audiences being more likely to be attracted to certain
sites.
> Wow, Tandy Xenix! Wasn't Xenix a Microsoft made Unix?
Yes, M$ did have a version of Xenix. I started out in computing circa
1985-86 using Tandy Xenix on a Tandy 6000, then upgraded to SCO Xenix on
a STATE-OF-THE-ART! ALR 386/25, which came with a WHOPPING 1MB of RAM
and a 230MB drive when shipped. Ah, the good old days!

In the early days of the web, I used a lot of different browsers
including Mosaic and Lynx, eventually settling on Netscape. I thought
Netscape 6 was an abject DISASTER, and downgraded back to 4.8. Finally,
I made my way to Mozilla, which I prefer over Firefox (which I use
occasionally) because I like Mozilla's mail and news clients.
