Alright kids, I’m going to cover a topic that’s probably very close to some of you. All I ask of you, the reader, is that you keep an open mind and not proceed to flame me at the end of the post.
Back in 2002, a new browser came to the scene. "Phoenix," as it was called at the time, was basically a trimmed down version of the Mozilla suite (except it was just the browser on it’s own development branch). Right off the bat, it carried over many of the features that Mozilla already had--popup blocker, tabbed browsing, and a download manager. Time moved on and Phoenix was eventually renamed to "Firebird." This 0.6 release marked the first release that I really started using more than Internet Explorer (although I started using it around the 0.3 release).

It’s an exciting time for us software geeks. Sure, it’s always a good time to play around with and tweak software that everyone already has or is readily available to the public. However, it’s even better when we get to play around with software that isn’t even out yet—software that will soon change the way everyone does things. Software of such magnitude does not enter late beta often.
