In 1998, however, I went to work for the > Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who was naturally a strong supporter of > Microsoft -- the result was that I was forced to start using FrontPage > and Internet Explorer. In 2002, I switched to Dreamweaver (which > permits me to hand-code again, with a few bells & whistles)...and a > year ago I made Mozilla my default browser.
