Successful people position themselves in front of future trends. Furthermore, THE FACT'S are telling us that the Internet industry isn't slowing down... in fact, it has only just started to begin!

For as long as you can remember the basic Internet browser was Internet Explorer. Of course, there was a moment in time when Netscape was trying to get that market share, but Internet Explorer won out and there are many people that don't realize Internet Explorer is only their browser and they can change if they like.

This timing was perfect for Firefox and when it was placed on the web for download there were so many people trying to download at once the server almost could not handle all of the requests.
