A nice addition to the history of IE would have been the easter eggs that were included in most of the versions.

Thank for your suggestions.I am out of town until Aug. 29 but will run your suggestions on my return to New Orleans. -Matthew Gould

I came, I saw, and didn't see any difference between the IE 10 and IE 9; therefore I quit Win 8 ... don't know for sure what to expect out of it considering it contains full of bugs at the moment - it is not even compatible with any Security Systems at all so it's "Users Own Risk" - likewise Win 8 Preview ... is still User's Own Risk!

The first Internet browser was actually Prodgity and the first website was www.com; then America Online aka "AOL" came to being then the others including "Nutscape" as it was affectionally known (Netscape) - and oh, if only they would leave the original www.com as so it was so that people could view the past ... the original INTERNET, the BEGINNING - and MAN was it a cram-jam page! LOL!

You are absolutely correct - Firebird before it was called FireFox (due to trademark which they had to change it in Mozilla.org which now is Mozilla.com).

Back then in the beginning - there were only 3 browsers:
1) AOL
2) Nutscape
3) IE

And all were under dial up - the speed load up is according to my end:

1) AOL - 9 Mbps
2) IE - 8.1 Mbps
3) Nut - 4.8 Mbps - and often caused me to be booted and lose the page; deleted it

--------------------------------------------------------

TODAY - running at 1.0 Gbps

Up time - no O/C (overclocking):

1) IE 9 (E - "enhanced" - but with quite a few features disabled) - 123.89 Mbps
2) FF 13.0.1 (still crashing after BETA) - 142.01 Mbps
3) MSN - ? - (Blue Screen Every Time!) - clocked at 98.7 Mbps
4) DNS/IP (my provider's) - 151.9 Mbps

Down Time (for downloading)

1) IE 9 (E) - 223.33 Mbps
2) FF (13.0.1) - 279.04 Mbps (but crashes)
3) MSN - can't use it due to Blue Screen
4) DNS/IP - 288.46 Mbps (they run on low encryption so I avoid this unless it is VIP)

How's that for a huge dramatic change over the decades from the beginning since dial up to the latest up-to-date technology since IPv6 (6over4) - part of it has a lot to do with the Military Bases and Headquarters which surrounds me; who demands the fastest and highest speeds of everything as it is imperative; with all due respect to Military and Feds all over the place.

Before you know it - we will be running at Giggle-bytes per a second! (LOL! I love calling that .... "Gigglebytes" :-D - got to love it!)
