Colin D. Devroe, over at TheUberGeeks.net, has a nice article that explains Firefox to non-techy people but does it without that 'talking to a child' condescension that you find in a lot of articles trying to explain tech stuff to non-tech people.

Posted by: Grey Hodge on November 16, 2004 09:01 PMThe point is to explain browsers to people who aren't experienced computer users, but that doesn't mean they can't know the english language well. :-P
Posted by: Jugalator on November 17, 2004 04:36 AMThere's a mistake in the article though -- he says IE doesn't have an integrated popup blocker, and the article was posted two days ago.
Posted by: Jugalator on November 17, 2004 04:39 AMTechnically, he's right. IE doesn't. Windows XP Service Pack 2 only has the popup blocker. No one else using IE has it. :)
