I ran the Marketing effort for Western Digital Imaging... you know them as Paradise. If one of my SW Engineers told me that the SW would sometimes run, sometimes not run, and that is with the world's #1 popularity browser, I would have had his head, if it were not the highest priority fix on the agenda. My perspective is a bit different......

My experiences...... I'm the webmaster for NSULA's University Libraries, and when I get a call that someone is having difficulty accessing our Databases, my first suggestion is for them to try another browser. Usually they're using Exploder, sometimes Firefox. Hes right, "Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not and another browser works. Other times the other browser does not work." I don't think I've had a call in these past few years regarding Chrome or Safari. The only other issue we often run into is Hughesnet and Wildblue. There's an accelerator in their modems that interferes with our Databases, but we have a fix for that.
