HChangeri's head is again spinning off into another dimension.

Thought you'd like to know.

So much more never creating CC for the Sims again.

$100 per mesh?  Is she fucking serious?

That girl has some serious esteem issues, as in she has too high of an opinion of herself.

Someone with myspace needs to give her a link to the EA post. I would ove to read her rant on that.

Sure, why not.

Drop me a link and I'll pass it her way.

Why not a $1000? No one is going to pay it anyway.
It MAY be a very poor attempt at humor. I hope so. If not, she is a lost in lala land.

I'm fairly certain she was trying to make a joke.

.....Mostly.

._.

It's called sarcasm.

She sure is bitter.



I might have missed something. Was it stated somewhere that we (or Pescado) demand her to actually put her stuff for free?

the link

http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?&openItemID=item.21,root.1,item.61,item.104,item.127,item.23&threadID=f051ce280c05ed64defc84e25f770998&directoryID=2&startRow=1#a3535cda9ae6c278284ec2190cd4cac6

She seems to have deleted her Myspace.  I was going to drop her the link too.  :cry:

Just can't stand people disagreeing with her, can she.

EDIT: No wait, I'm stupid.  Never mind.  =P

Sadly (for those forced to be around her irl) I believe the dumb ass twit was completely serious  :lol:

And here I thought the prevalent theory was that it was a desperate cry for attention. My bad.

I have seen many many meshes on TurboSquid for hundreds of dollars.  If she thinks she is in the same league as those meshers, she is sorely mistaken, but I do believe she is serious in thinking she can sell hers for $100.  

Lost in lala land indeed!

This lady scares me.

Hahaha. Well... it's the customer's choice to pay $100 per mesh. :roll:

Her shop (http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?FuseAction=ProcessSmartSearch&istIncAuthor=HChangeri%20&blAuthorExact=y&intMediaType=-1&stgBoolean=l&blExternal=TRUE) if you wanna look.

Anyone read the new one about paysites that should die?

"Someone pointed out, offline again, that once I package my mesh for use in TS2, EA owns it and could stick it in their next EP if they wanted.  I suppose but my stuff isn't quite up to their standards yet so I'm not too worried.  Of course when OFB came out my husband's first comment was "so, did they just steal all your content and ideas or what?"  He was joking, well, mostly joking.  At least there stuff was a drastic improvement over mine."

I skimmed that one. :\

How arrogant. We might be asshats, but she's another kind of asshat.

She needs to sue EA for stealing her idea and, apparently, all her meshes too. Damn those suits at EA!

(Stepping out of my lurkerdom for a minute)

I am sitting here, trying quite hard not to laugh. That's possibly one of the funniest posts I ever read. Man, people sure are audacious... charging 100 dollars for meshes.

I'm still waiting for EA to steal my work. What the hell is taking them so long? If they had stolen it, the patch would be out by now!

She hasn't responded yet to Kakumei's link. This should be good.

(laughs incessantly) I worked in these 3d industries for years (advertisings and entertainment industries to be precise) and I have seen a lot of professional designs (real pro) but after I saw her creations at Turbosquid I just can't hold my "HAHA" anymore. Talk about delusions of grandeur, trust me guys "mediocrity" doesn't even make up for her work standards.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

For them to steal your work, would require either understanding coding, or just plain out renaming your files.

From EA, that would be a tossup.

It's funny because it's true. D:

Whoa, hold on a minute...if I'm reading everything right...she's sold two meshes, correct?  And those items at TurboSquid were shown at what $1 and $2 each (the ones that weren't marked free, that is...)?

ROFLMAO...whoa buddy, she's just *rolling in the dough* now.  

That is not anything worth bragging about.

http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/328468

$49.99 and fucking awesome.

Her petty meshes for $100? $1 seems about right, actually.

Where is the beefy arm?

if it had a beefy arm it'd be selling for $100, duh

On top of trying to crank out the Season EP for you and all your Awesomeness to repair, they are busy raking in the cash from the mini-add-on to the old Holiday Stuff-it Pack. Please provide them with a direct link and a bill for your time.

I'm a fedora!  

Someone bought her meshes?  I know they are only like a dollar but still, click a a box and a cylinder, play for 10 minutes and you'll pretty much have it for free.

My asshat is stained. A pity, it was a good one.

Get rid of the tiny font crap! Its silly.

My thoughts exactly.  It takes not a genius to learn how to mesh.  It takes the desire to learn, the ability to learn, and the right tools to mesh.  It isn't a huge big bloody secret society that only a few select people are allowed in.  Anyone with those three things can get off their rear end and do it if they want to bad enough.  It then takes time and effort to become exceptionally good at it, which from what I have seen she is a far far cry from becoming.

Yar! A good Mercury injection cures that also. And a few social maladies, I hear.

those... wait... those are her items? i'm still learning, but i wouldn't put my noob wares up for $1+ dollars.

who the frak gave her $100 for her winter set? i think she claims 2 people already paid for her meshes.

Lies and propaganda.

Hear, hear!

Those 2 persons paid for meshes that were $1-2 I think. However, I wouldn't be surprised if someone wants to by her meshes for $100. I do know someone who charged over $100 for a webdesign, so... why not?

Well, she might be giving herself too much credit. You know, if it wasn't of Pescado, she wouldn't be making SOOO much money. :roll:

That only works if you swallow.






Me thinks she missed the decimal.

Evil Pescado is depriving the insane of their perceived fantasy livelihood. Bad Pescado!

*thwacks with rolled-up newspaper*

Heck, my kid brother is better than Hchangari (sp?) And why does her name sound like the evil aliens in a cheesy sci-fi novel?

Edit... My "kid brother" is pushing 50.

Would anyone care to summarize the BBS link? A SimMaster has deleted it (with some choice words to the original poster).

Huh? It is still there:



edit: okay..it is late, you want the original post from swiftyslam30.  :oops:

Yes, that's what I was looking for. :) Or even just a brief synopsis.

Yeah, no-one's ever seen the original post, far as I know it was something fairly unremarkable...

And I posted a particularly long response to Ms Retail, now I'm waiting for it to show up. God I hate Myspace.

Why are so many people in this fandom batshit insane? (or ineffable retards)

...

Actually, I think we could fill up a topic with answers to this question.

I get 100$ for a webdesign.. for a friend, people pay insane amounts of money for sites! Its ridiculous, and Im not even a pro  :lol:

Edit: pro, not por..

Heh

I once got an email from a starting paysite, wanting to buy hairmeshes at 60 dollars a piece. If I'd actually done that, they would have been broke in 3 months, because at that time my meshes where shitty.
Funny thing is, I've never even seen them online.

If they were going to pay you $60 a mesh, how much were they going to charge their customers?  That's a lot of meny for a starting site.

They where not the brightest lights out there I suppose. Maybe they wanted to give out 15 dollar subs. Now who the hell does that these days anyway...

*rubs chin thoughtfully*

I never really thought that her stuff was that good in the first place, they were not the best quality to begin with soo to me its not that big of a loss. She can bitch all she wants, shes just wasting her breath and brain cells. Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish is what I say!

It only takes a batshit insane aswell, to buy THAT crap for 1-2 bucks. I didn't see anything worth paying a buck for.

Sweetie, to take a noble stand on integrity, you first have to have some.  :roll:

Well, I may be wrong, but looks like she's denied to have my response to her shown. Shame i didn't save it. It was unusually intelligent for me.

I finally got my comment to show up. Holy shit, I hate MySpace.

I got paid $15 an hour to manage this until my boss got snippy and decided that my attempts at following his vague instructions were inadequate and so he'd hire a professional

www.lifehealthlaw.com

strange, but they're still using my shitty old design they requested I roll the site back to in the meantime... guess the pros charge too much XD I'd designed a much better site IMO but he hated it. Had a marble background, a flash intro with their name, nothing too flashy, rather tasteful but showing that they're cutting edge at the same time... *sighs*

Bella, I should point out that you screwed up in one of your comments. LyricLee is the one that downloaded tons of crap and lied about it. This isn't the same person. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if she downloaded shit as well, for all her talk of "integrity." She really seems to love that word and wields it as if anyone on this site gives a damn about it.

Yes. Her meshes aren't even particularly special...at all.

/lurk

Oh ya, someone paid $100 for my mesh too. Then Jesus came over for a beer and we went bowling with the Easter bunny.

She might as well have saved herself the cramped fingers typing all that bunk on her site & blog (whilst bringing out novels quotes to make her feel teh smartz) and just said, "Plz  looook @ me!1 I luvs drama! B nice 2 me! My big!mean haxx0r hubby can beat u up."

:idea: I think the title of my senior thesis should be "Internet Drama Whores: Manifestations of Hysterical Neurosis in Cyberspace".

Girl, (if not a girl, sorry :-)), that actually sounds interesting.  I'm being totally serious, too.  It sounds interesting, and god knows it's an actual phenomenom.  So if you're a sociology or psych major, you might seriously give it some thought.

Just have to get a professor to take it seriously.   :wink:  Beats writing about rats in mazes looking for cheese.

Hmmm.  Not sure what's needed for that.  But yeah, anyone who's been online and part of an online community for more than six months has at least one story, I'm sure, of the drama and in-fighting that takes place.

If you look hard enough in certain part of the social sciences, such as in Cultural Studies, Cultural Anthropology, or Media Studies, you'll find a small number of books and published essays about online communities and identity. It's fascinating to say the least.

Hahaha, this basically IS my thesis. I'm not even in grad school yet and I'm already compiling material.

Edit. I am a psych major, mostly aiming to concentrate in social/personality and abnormal psych. If you couldn't tell by some of my posts, I live for this kind of garbage from strange people. Even better in this case because I get to vent on this forum and essentially prod it/them with sticks.

I'm cruising this forum specifically to procrastinate writing my term paper on Freud. 'Nuff said...

It's only due at 3 this afternoon, but who's counting?

I'm supposed to be working on a paper for paganism class...

actually, it's a really interesting topic I picked, I'm writing about the catholics being REALLY fucking good at making the sheeple believers turn on random groups  because "god hates them"

LOL, I love your topic, want anymore links for it, PM me and I can give u hand there, my nic isn't just a random nic :lol:

Paganwolf

You mean....you're really a wolf? :o

I wish :lol:  but I am really a pagan.

Now that's a contradictory statement if I ever heard one!

ha!! i thought so too, i was expecting her to say quality time w/her husband.  hmm, guess the 360 has better force back....

For someone who is sooooo over this issue, she certainly has a lot to say on the matter.



With the implication that if people just humiliate themselves and beg her a little harder, she'll let them play with her toys again.



Which is nonsense, because she's always been free to choose that, and if she doesn't like what people do with her content, she's always been free to stop making her content available. Just like she did! No one is magically controlling her mind or putting a gun to her head and making her do things. She's confusing her dislike of what other people do with her content as those people taking away her choices of what to do with her content in the first place.

She hasn't learned the first big lesson anyone who creates anything needs to learn: The moment you start showing what you make to other people, their reactions and what they do with what they've seen/read/bought is pretty much out of your hands. You have legal redress in certain circumstances... but what she's whining about right now is pretty much the equivalent of an artist throwing a shitfit because some teenager printed out their artwork and gave it to a buddy for her to hang in her locker.



Which is utterly ridiculous. No one is forcing her to do something she doesn't want; she's pissy because other people aren't doing what she wants in reaction to what she does, so she them blames them for somehow forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do.

Shes basically not taking responsibility for what she chooses to do in response to other people's actions, basically. She'd rather blame other people for 'making' her do this unpleasant thing. She's 32 goddamned years old, here, she's more than old enough to figure out responses to a situation, weigh the pros and cons of those situations, and choose what she thinks is best. I can't imagine that this ISN'T what she's doing... so doing what she did was up to her.



And I should have the right to praise and adulation from thousands for everything I draw! I spent hundreds in art supplies so people should compensate me for looking at my artwork! Wait, no. This doesn't have anything to do with 'shoulds' but 'wants'.



I don't know, I think everyone would win if she'd quit whining about people not compensating her for her hobby.



Hehheh.



But she's going to listen to EA? Waitaminute.

I wonder if her 'really good legal connections' are anything like her black-hat hacker husband *coughScriptKiddiecough* who would totally kick all of our asses if he didn't have a government job.

Anyone wanna take bets on how long we can keep HChangeri bleating about this? I bet... 2 euros and some pocket lint!

[Edit] Couldn't resist this from her "leik omg this is how I make my super cool shit" blog. Just fucking couldn't.



WHAT. WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK. What kind of shitastic artist forgets how to fucking draw when they work in 3D?! To DESIGN? Designing things WELL in 2D surprisingly takes a decent grasp of how things relate to each other in three dimensional space.

That she thinks she needs all of the really expensive programs to make sims 2 stuff at the quality level she's reached... yeeeeah, she isn't fucking going anywhere with any sort of artistic endevour until she pulls her head out of her ass. It wouldn't matter if she had a rendering studio from Industrial Light and Magic, she'd still suck because she doesn't have good enough damned skills.

Black hats,  how lawyers? HO NOES!

I love how she says that she didn't read the comments when, in fact, you know she did. She was hoping for a bunch of sycophants masturbating with their keyboards to her mindless Ayn Rand fellatio and was mocked in accordance. HShambala finally realizes that, above all

a) It's not like you need a secret decoder ring to figure out what the EULA says, and
b) She's such a small blip on the radar anyway that absolutely no one cares (besides us because we're mean and evil and anti-capitalism, oh my!)

So what have learned today, boys and girls?

INTERNET = SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to laugh hysterically in the corner.

Oh....god. She's a fucking idiot. That's all I have to say on the subject. Fucking. Idiot.

She has a whole gaggle of lawyers, eh?  Dozens?  I'M UBER IMPRESSERATED LIEK OMG.

Don't know about her design skills, but her theatrical skills are pretty good.


ETA: @Plum: my lawyers will beat your lawyers any time! Nyah nyah nya! :P  :P  :P

War Games is a great movie...

QFT, in a sad sort of way.

It's worth it just to scream 'IN 1983?!?! THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!!' att the screen, and wonder how Matthew Broderick managed to become one of the most boring film stars in the entire world, once he grew up...

This is one of the things that annoys me most about her. She's 32. She's considerably older than me, but still within age-range to be considered my peer, and she's constantly reacting like this, like a moody 14 year old. I'm actually a fairly mellow person, I forgive easily, I admit I'm in the wrong if I feel like I am, and aside from the occasional mood swing, I don't get angry very easily. I always put this down to getting older, maturing, I certainly wasn't like this when I was a teenager, and my friends are like me in this respect too.

The more I read HChangeri's posts, where she grudges, and whines, and complains, and trashtalks, forms her own conclusions without knowing the facts, and is generally a twat, and think to myself 'god, this is a 32 year old?' the more I realise that all it is, is she's a moron, and her blackhat husband and lawyer friends who seemingly have to put up with this crap all the time and presumably encourage her, are very much just as bad. Besides, she's giving me the urge to translate her thus:

Areyoucallinmestupid, though? Areyoudisprespectingme? Areyoudisrespectingmylawyerfriends?? Are you calling me a pikey? Are you calling my blackhat government hax0r poor? Are you calling my husand a wino? Are you calling my husband a wino though? My husband ain't even a wino. He ain't even a wino, though. Am I bovvered? Am I bovvered, though? Do I look bovvered? Am I bovvered, though, Look at my face, does it look bovvered, though? Look at my face. Look at my face. Look at my face, though.Does any part of it look bovvered? Am I bovvered? Ask me if I'm bovvered. Go on, ask me if I'm bovvered. Ask me. Ask me if I'm bovvered. Do you think I'm bovvered? Face. Bovvered. Look. Face. Bovvered. Look. Face. Bovvered? Look. Sims 2? Bovvered? I ain't bovvered.

I think HChangeri gets off on reading our reactions to her rants.  I already know she doesn't care about her stuff being shared, as long as it's done quietly.  Most of the smaller site creators who have a lot of free content don't really care in the end.  And they shouldn't, either.  They got donations for it that they might not ever have gotten, they got exposure for it that they might not ever have gotten.  In the end, it doesn't *really* hurt anyone - we're not wasting up her bandwidth and we're not claiming it's ours.  Hell, I imagine she was pretty proud of that Krispy Kreme set and she was forced to take it down.  So shouldn't she be happy that it's still out there and people still know about it?  I probably would be if it were me.

So as long as we continue to talk about her, she's happy.

And I'm always for making someone happy. ;)

BlueSoup, you're such a sweetheart.  I'm sure her dozens of lawyer friends will cut you a break when they crash down upon us all in their mighty wave.

Maybe she'll be a little more relaxed after December 22nd.

Surfing on yellow legal pads, no less.

God, that's an awesome mental image.

I misread that as "mighty weave".

Pssh. Lawyers ain't got no mighty weave.

That's even better. Doom comes with bad hair...

Lawyers with mighty weaves surfing in on yellow legal pads...  Bwahahahahahahaha!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/Solowren/lawyerz.jpg)

Yes, I have bad handwriting.

Internet cookies for you!

Also, the above proves that your computer art skills surpass those of several paysite owners.

That is so scary in a South Park sorta way... *saved

Gold star for this.  :lol:

Maybe I should, you know, like, start my own paysite. I could, like.... totally do all of my textures in Paint in under 2 minutes, you know, like that picture.

I would totally use the money for my amazingly high bandwidth, and like... because my dog has ovarian cancer.

Make sure they're all on Maxis meshes, too. Oh, and if you could mispell the t-shirts that'd be nifty.

*takes notes*

Don't forget to mention on your homepage that your hosting is supurrrr expensive and if you don't get enough donations you'll have to stop creating your masturrrrpieces.

And your chillens will starve and no dirty underwear to do *whatever* is done with it.

You should always refer to this dog as though it were a male.

Don't forget to quote books no one has ever heard of/some have heard of but hate, and be sure to hold a superiority complex over people because they have no clue what you're talking about.

OMG, my paysite will be the best EVAR!!1

For giving me such kick ass ideas, I'll like, totally give everybody here a super special discount.

You can get 3 of my loverly fashiony designs for, like, only $14.99!

*dies laughing*

from the front page of retail sims

"RETAIL SIMS HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CLOSED.
 

HCHANGERI WILL NO LONGER CREATE CONTENT FOR THE SIMS 2."

*snorts*

Where have YOU been?

lol am i late? thats nothing new... i knew it was closing down, just thought it was funny that it said she wasn't going to be creating anymore

sorry bout that!

I love how everyone who commented on it put her down. Publicly. And there was no fucking Lyric Lee & ass kissers to defend her lame ass. hahhaha. & there's no fucking way that any of them have been sold. no fucking way.

"I'm probably going to benefit, financially, much more from doing so too.  So in a sense I come out ahead.  I have my integrity and I have the potential to make a lot more money that my Google ads or donations ever made me."


That is the lamest thing that I have ever heard. How lazy can one be? How pathetic can one be?!?!!? AHHH WORDS CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE!!  :evil:

OMFG sign me up.

Be sure to pass out my paypal and email address to all the other paysite owners too!

Well up until this whole thing, everything I saw of her was *nice and polite*
She has shared quite a bit about herself and her mental illness and her hacker hubby...but now she's saying she could have just made all that up
(implying you could be lying to these people you say are "sickeningly sweet" to you isn't really helping your cause)

And she admits that she's enjoying the attention she's gotten for all this.

So I guess this means the creations will be back up anytime now with a "thanks for all the sickeningly sweet stuff--death to the evil pescado" message?

HCHANGERI I order you to jump.

(Has she jumped yet?)

Maybe Pescado should tell her to jump.

What better proof do we need that she was just going for the "sickeningly sweet" pleas for her to return which she laughably failed to get. Of course she read every single hate message in much greater depth than the nice ones. They are after all much more interesting. If she actually had integrity she would say what she really meant.

It still makes me hopping mad that she 'refuses' to reply to people who have spoken to her intellegently, but aren't on her side. How childish is that? Of course, it's proably because she doesn't want her 'integrity' challenged.

I like her 'inspiration' ideas though, that's kinda cute...>.>

I'm so very, very tempted to do a Google Bomb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb) with HChangeri (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=attention+whore)'s  name. So very tempted.




Assuming said people even exist. She talks about them in such sweepingly vague terms that I have doubts, or at least that they exist in quite the way she says that they do (like the husband being a black hat hacker, f'rex).

:lol: well she practically admitted she's an attention whore (or at least that's what I got out of what she said), there are others mentioned on this forum who are bigger attention whores (well maybe not bigger, but been at it longer ) and are perhaps more deserving lol....still entertaining though  :lol:

Well, I've never heard of her before this forum, so yes, she should be thankful to Pescado. 8)

Betcha she'll quietly open her site back as soon as all the noise about her dies off. You can trust drama queens in those matters.

my thoughts exactly.

I would be very, very surprised if her site didn't go back up very soon.

She has to have a place where to post pictures of her "creations", afterall. But of course she will spam S2C and other places with those first.

Now she's a chavette?

Yeah but am I bovvered?

....okay, I stop now, lest I become a death camp candidate...

lol, Somebody posted a pic of chav hair somewhere here. Was it a pay hair?
If so is it in the booty? My chavettes need to look their very cough*best*cough when graduating to the next level.

Was it the Peggy 'Croydon Facelift' 'do? That, sadly, was free, I think...Nationalday, I believe it was called...

Oh wait no, it was a freebie for a couple of days, don't mind me...>.>

She's back - with new stuff as well. Didn't even wait for the fuss to die down.

Yes, it is inded ironic that she's back before the date she threatened to close down in the first place...bless'er.

What is her definition of integrity?
According to Dictionary.com:
integrity (noun)
   1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. (her own morals? or some moral code of the sims community?)
   2. The state of being unimpaired; soundness.(is she now unimpaired? and if she was impaired, how was it Pescado's doing?)
   3. The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness (but the site is NOW complete since it's not empty anymore)

The paypal button is back up but leads to the paypal homepage (she plans on adding donation sets again? or she just didn't bother to fix the code to get voluntary donations?)

I know some of you may not like the stuff in the screenshots she has up there, but some of it looks good, if it's going to be free I'll probably end up downloading it.
I am a bit surprised that the whole entire thing was over and done with long before she originally said she was going to close the site...it hasn't even been a whole month has it?
Even I have thrown longer fits than that, and I still got what I wanted in the end :)

My armchair psychiatrist analysis is that, exciting as all the attention was, it got to be awfully embarrassing for her to be the only one publicly squalling about PMBD. Better to be resisting bravely against us like all of the other paysites! Soldier on, HChangeri (http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Attention_whore), solider on.

I wonder what amusing antics she'll perform next?

I'm also willing to put her in this (http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Those_who_must_leave_long_diatribes_explaing_WHY_they_are_unjoining_a_community) category...

Perfect.

*sends maty link to EA* Catch a clue EA!

If only they would.

Hahaha, I did this on a site a couple years ago as a joke (though no one took it as one. Shame, that). It ended up 10 goddamned pages in MSword.

That is so cute.
I feel like that most of the time, too...

HChangeri didn't say much of anything at all.

Throughout the thread there's been plenty of people quoting her blogs.

Purple: Apparently a lot.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/Not_You/adsfasfd.png)

Or you could just set a minimum font size on your browser.
Assuming you use a decent program and not the piece of shit that is IE.

...my IE is good...

No one's IE is good.

Why is this?

I've coped perfectly well with mine for 10+ years. Mozilla/Firefox/whateverit'scalled makes my PC explode like a firey ball of hell visible from space...

I coped for many years too before I was enlightened, but I've been increasingly anti-M$ for a while and it would take a lot to take my Opera away from me. It was suggested by a real beardie weirdie computer geek friend. I happened to try it before Firefox and cannot switch now. I admit IE7 is an improvement, but it's still a long way behind Firefox which, in my opinion, is still behind Opera.

IE had a tendency to bork my computer, causing errors, BSOD, and spontaneous reboots.  I finally said screw this and went back to using Mozilla.  I briefly flirted with SeaMonkey, then went straight to Firefox.

Even in WinXP, the most likely thing to fry a session is Explorer, and that's saying a lot considering that I've had all of a handful of crashes with XP.  That Windows Explorer (and I know, they're like two peas in a pod) can crash me the easiest is just sickening.

It's only under duress that I installed the IE Tab add-on so that I could view things on the exchange without having to load IE separately.  (For some reason the exchange makes any copies of Mozilla or Firefox work at tortoise speed on my machine.)

I haven't even bothered to install the IE7 update.

I find it necessary on occasion to view a page in IE. I hate to do this, but some people code so badly it's beyondany real browser to display it. How they set up a website without any knowledge of HTML bothers me.
Anyway, I read the CNet review of IE7 and thought I'd try it. They've obviously used FF as their model and there are definitely some improvements, but there are still more holes than the whole M$ corporation can find and even though it looks pretty, it is a larger resource hog and is less useful than Opera. They have once again failed to make a better program, but they have made a more attractive program.

I like it.
And Opera seems to me like a fake program...don't ask me why I say this...

That's because you haven't been using firefox's built in lovelies :)  extensions, addons, and stuff like BUILT IN spellcheck all make my surfing experience all the more enjoyable.

Opera is alright, but I, for some reason, have to open up a new tab in order to change the address in the address bar.  lame.  

I also have some sites that i have to use IE for. (sunair) sites that, as a coincidence, don't visit very often.

It would be nice if TAB took you to the address bar. I LOVE keyboard shortcuts. F2 will get you an empty address bar, but there are other things in Opera I can't live without so I deal with that.

Shutting up now.

Ha, I couldn't get Sunair to load/work properly in any browser, including IE.  So to me, whatever they have isn't worth the frustration.

Same here. I had to get a friend to open it in her browser, go all the way through to the download pages, and send me the link. ^^ That worked alright.
