Several months ago, before Phoenix was renamed to Mozilla Firebird, I was home at my mom's house and installed Phoenix on her computer, without her knowledge. I registered it as the default browser and even "masked" the Phoenix shortcut with the Internet Explorer icon. This was an experiment to see how she reacted about this change.
I had then forgotten about this until I visited her house again today to discuss some other stuff. At that time, she was logged on at her online bank, www.foreningssparbanken.se which now accepts any browser (it used to allow only IE5+ users). It wasn't until then that I discovered that she was using Phoenix and has been so ever since I replaced IE without any problems whatsoever!
So, it turns out that I've already converted six persons to Mozilla Firebird and three persons to Mozilla Thunderbird! These numbers will definitely rise as time goes by.

Of course, I set them up with Thunderbird for the client. I think it will be easier for them to use than Outlook Express.
