BUT: Just think of how much money you'll save on impulse buys.
Half my online purchases thus far stopped dead at the cash register, forcing
me to fire up IE to complete the transaction.

And of course it's embarrassing to use at work. Half our HR stuff, like
purchasing, benefit changes,  etc doesn't work-and I have to remind myself -
just use IE - ahhhh, much better.
