Making the World a Better Place, One Computer at a Time

Posted Sep 11th, 2006 at 9:57 am in Humor, Odds and Ends, Technology

I have a friend (I won’t say who) that recently came across a serious problem. Their workplace wouldn’t allow them to install Firefox. According to IT, Firefox would make the computer more vulnerable to viruses. Yeah, and engaging in abstinence is a risk of AIDS transmission.

Well, as it turns out, this friend could install other programs on the computer. They just couldn’t download certain things due to a filter. So we put Firefox on a flash drive, it installed just fine, and then I got a little creative so that Firefox wouldn’t stand out on the desktop… :)

    I did a similar thing with my mom. I installed Firefox and changed it to the IE icon so she wouldn’t be confused.
