The Joy of Ferry Riders
I am riding the Washington State Ferry right now and they have free wireless I compiled Ethereal using Fink on Mac OS X and did a quick packet grab. And ran a filter on what I had captured.
According to the results.
27 Unique IP Address's are using Internet Explorer 6.0
12 Unique IP Address's are using Firefox 1.0+
1 Unique IP Address is using Safari. ;-)
These results might all be accurate but just that it was kinda sad that people are still using Internet Explorer.
Time for a Rocketboom Link.
Firefox vs Internet Explorer - Rocketboom - December 02 2005

I thoroughly enjoyed the reasoning the people had.
Which do you like?
Firefox. Why? Cause it's better and safer.
IE. Why? Cause I'm ignorant.
I remember when I used to use Netscape 2.0 back on Windows 3.1! That's back when web browsing was safe! Then Windows 95 came out and we got Netscape 3 and Internet Explorer.
But how long have we been on Internet Explorer 6? Way to long. Mac is still on IE 5 and they haven't released a new version of IE for mac in I don't know how long.
My web browsers of choice are Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera. The only use I have for IE right now is Yahoo chat rooms. They only work on IE for Mac for some reason.
I love the RSS features in Firefox. I love the fact that things don't get auto installed. I never sit down at Firefox on someone elses computer and see. Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, MySearch, Gator. Clouding up the screen.
On every new system I setup I will uninstall IE. Install Firefox. Grab the IE Theme, Google Toolbar, Put a shortcut on the Desktop Change the name to Internet Explorer and give it the IE Icon.
Just so people don't shit themselves when their precious internet explorer is missing.
This is what I understood just now: "bloo blee blo bla bla blee"
;) (just kiddin')
You must be nice to those of us who don't know any better.
"bloo blee blo bla bla blee"
That would be a killer sound effect.

I added the Windows Media Version of the link. Because I am not sure if you have quicktime Jenniper.
