>>Old English terms include shi*, fuc*, and many others. People like to argue when using what we term swear (to use bad language) or cuss words, “they are just Old English terms defining bodily functions”! That is done to shock people and sometimes people use them because they cannot express themselves.

Hilmar;

By "Browser Experience" is a term used by Bill gates a few years ago. It refered to "everything will be used through the Browser". I am refering to all the joys we as developers have attempting to create software that works with any or all browsers. There are somethings a browser will not allow when compared to a desk top application.
