My mom does the exact same thing, as it turns out. - Bret Taylor
I shouldn't be too harsh on my 59 year old mother. She realized about 7 years ago that it's cheaper to build a PC than buy one, and she knows more about putting together PCs today than I do! She's built at least 8-10 in that time, including for other people! :-) - Duncan Riley
Wow your Mom is great! Maybe she can build a space ship 4 us? Better be ready than sorry! - Igor The Troll
My mother was the one who introduced me to Prodigy, AOL, e-mail and Mosaic. She has been blogging since 2004, and once had AT&T providing funding for her educational technology Web startup. She's on Facebook and FriendFeed and uses Firefox. It's the generation above her who has trouble. - Louis Gray
My mom is 63 and smoking on the internet. I doubt she would switch either but she knows how to get around. - Sandra Williams
It is a good point to remember. While I doubt the Chrome team thought about that demographic when putting together the UI, at least the OPTION of doing so would be nice. I'm all for keeping apps simple to use ( including the ones I write - i avoid using the file menu at all costs), but there are something that you do need to include. - Roberto Bonini
Firefox has the option to keep bookmarks open in a sidebar (or browsing history, or my delicious bookmarks). View > sidebar - Robert Felty
Actually, I don't keep a sidebar open with my favorites (didn't know I could!), but I do still use IE. I've tried Firefox, in fact use it to edit my business website, but haven't found any compelling reason to switch. And without a compelling reason, I am a creature of habit. Looking forward to trying chrome, though. Just haven't had time to download it. .....Bret's mom - Sheila Taylor
