I love a well done spoof and here is a brilliant one for us geeky types. Someone has pretended that Microsoft have acquired Mozilla and have produced a brilliant web site at MSFirefox.com to explain it. The site is packed full of in jokes ("The removal of Microsoft Firefox from your system violates international copyright law. Therefore, you cannot legally uninstall Microsoft Firefox.") and is beautifully designed. If it weren't for the subject matter you could easily believe it had come from the MS themselves. In fact if you check whois, the perpetrator has even gone as far as to register the Domain as being from Bellevue - which is Microsoft's home turf in Seattle, WA. Nice but very cheeky touch. I suspect that this site will be removed quite soon so if this sort of thing amuses you, have a look soon.

Hello,
I am wondering if the Stu Crump on your list used to live in Rearsby, Leics., on Mill Road specifically.
If so, I would like to contact him. He's an old lost net friend of mine. - Tammi from Cleveland, Ohio
Thank you so much for your help.
I've let Stu know you are asking after him. I don't know if he is the one you are looking for though!
Thanks!
