Remaining percentage was various other browsers. This on a site that gets ~7k hits per day, with ~8000 unique IP's visiting in a month. Don't know if that's a fair sample of the internet but it was nice to see. ;)

My school is installing it as the default browser on every new computer image and the number of trouble calls caused by spyware has dropped dramatically. Install Firefox and the AdBlock extension and the 'Net suddenly looks like it did 10 years ago. No pop-ups or banners spoiling my favorite sites! As far as Usenet servers go, there are quite a few out there that are free or inexpensive. Don't let AOL's dropping their server knock you out of Usenet! George
