ok, so i have firefox like most knowledgable internet users, and im trying to convince my dad to change to it, from IE7, but he is reluctant, to say the least

I have shown him the better search bar (he says its not worth it)

the music manager thing (he barely listens to music)

and i have tried telling him its safer against viruses (he says we dont need that because we already have norton)

he keeps saying its not worth changing because he knos his way around IE, and the advantages ive shown arent worth learning a whole new interface.

so what are some other advantages? what else can i say to convince him to change? because as it is i cant use the net on his page and his reluctancy is kinda annoying me.

 


Give your father a break.

If he doesn't need the browser, he doesn't need it.

If you really want to help him, ask him to try the IE7Pro addon, as it adds a lot of neat features along with a few vey similar ones to Ad-Block Plus.

PS:  I'm glad Sqrl mentioned it... Norton sucks in a great many ways.  You only use it if you're too stupid to figure out something else.
