I'm a Technology Support Specialist at Georgia College & State University. My main area of responsibility is the campus computer labs. I've been noting all the blogger buzz about Firefox, and that tech folks coping with the consequences of IE all recommend it. (For more general anti-Microsoft news, visit The Evil Empire).
My media background ("they all use IE, let's just give them what they want") had me resistant at first to my co-workers universal opinion that we should load Firefox on all our machines. I've come around. As we ready the computer labs for next semester, we're loading Firefox on all of them. We'll see how it goes and may even follow Penn State University's lead and take steps to encourage students to use it.
I recommend you try it. Download it free from here. And for those pages that require IE click here from your installed Firefox browser for the plug-in.
UPDATE: My friend Howard says I'm sooooo behind the times... Also please note, you still need to use IE for Windows Update. Always update!
