More than just surfing ----------------------- Although there are many browsers on market, most likely you are using just one - Netscape or Microsoft Explorer, or perhaps Opera or America On line.... Using one or other is fine if you are just surfing on web. However, if you are building a business here, I suggest you download and use from time to time other browsers as well.New web browsers come with incredible features. For example, Netscape has Netshow and MSE has Net Meeting. Place at top of your monitor just a simple, inexpensive, camera (most likely you have already a microphone and speakers) and voila: you are equipped to conduct your own online tele-conferencing!
Can we chat (and more than that)? --------------------------------- As you perhaps know, I host and moderate a MasterMind Chat -- details at http://loska.com/successconnection/chat.html Since chatroom doesn't like Microsoft Explorer - causing constant scrolling of chat messages - I advice participants and guests to use Netscape. Quite often this creates a problem. Many people say "I don't have a Netscape because I prefer Internet Explorer..."
Chances are that with you just opposite is true. You might use Explorer, not Netscape, or Opera, or Lynx, or WebTV, or ... maybe you don't even know which of them you are using!
Either way, if you are serious about your Internet business, you better get used to idea of having more than one browser. Not because of my MasterMind Chat (although this alone may be a good reason -- among my guests were Ken Evoy, Marlon Sanders and Tony Blake, you can gain a lot from chatting with guys like that).
However, most important reason for using more browsers is your ability to see web pages way other visitors do.
Don't trust your designer ------------------------- You might think that if your website was professionally designed, you are in good shape. Not so. Web designers are notorious for paying attention only to their own computer's capabilities, which are usually fast and equipped with huge monitors set to millions of colors. Sadly, this is not way most people see world wide web and what looks great on monitor of your designer may look quite awful to your visitors.
