Geeks done good

[bcholmes]

So, I finally installed Firefox on my home machine (I've been a Netscape user for a long, long time, for both e-mail and browsing). I've had Firefox on a number of work machines, and love a lot of its features (highlighted address bar for HTTPS servers, the way find is handled, etc.), but I've avoided the switch because of the amount of stuff I'd hafta move over: bookmarks, pop-ups settings, etc.

So I've finally installed both Firefox and Thunderbird. And they did such a good job copying over my settings from Netscape that I didn't have to log in to LiveJournal in the new browser.

Man, why can't all programmers be like these guys?

I had a similar experience installing Firefox; it migrated everything over just fine from IE (I had been using Opera mostly; Firefox didn't even admit it saw Opera on my machine at all...). It did act a little odd when I logged out of LiveJournal to let someone else log in; they couldn't stay logged in. I finally had to blow away the cookies.
