Admittedly being a bit pedantic, that isn't quite true, at least with "that browser otherwise called Firefox". You not only notice but accord some value to the brand, as you not only noticed but obviously prefer the Firefox branding, or you'd prefer "Bon Echo" or whatever, since the only positive is the branding, which you wouldn't care about, and it comes with a big negative, restrictions on your legal right to give your friend a copy, should they need or want one. So it appears you care rather more about branding than you claim. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
