while were on ancient history and back on topic, iphone's dumb.
I used Netscape too, but MS didn't make it easy on me. Honestly, I'm not too up-in-arms about the browser thing--I think IE should come packaged with Windows. What bothered me was that MS took it another step and actively tried to prevent any other browser from gaining a foothold.

Anyway, I've got my own list of beefs with Apple. I actually develop for them, and trying to navigate their developer portals is like chewing salt and lemon-juice laced glass.
