BBC NEWS | Technology | Firefox browser takes on Microsoft: "A campaign co-ordinated by the Spread Firefox website attempted to raise the $50,000 needed for a full page advert in the New York Times.

The campaign set itself a target of recruiting 10,000 volunteers. Ten days in to the campaign 25,000 people had signed up and now about $250,000 has been raised."

Well, thats the 'in your face' reply if anyone out there thinks OpenSource is a fad or a buble that isn't practical, or wouldn't sustain. As long as the output is appealing to John Average, even if his middlename is not Geek or Nerd, there's a lot of good in this world to give the evil $oftware firms a run for their money.

Well done, everyone! :)
