For the last few years, Microsoft has tried to separate the modern version of Internet Explorer from its legacy: a relatively slow, insecure browser saddled with proprietary features. Now Mark Hachman reports at PC World that as recently as a few weeks ago, members of the Internet Explorer development team debated renaming the browser, presumably in an effort to eliminate any distaste from the software's earliest days. According to one member of the Explorer Develop Group during an AMA on Reddit: "It's been suggested internally; I remember a particularly long email thread where numerous people were passionately debating it. Plenty of ideas get kicked around about how we can separate ourselves from negative perceptions that no longer reflect our product today," wrote Jonathon Sampson. "The discussion I recall seeing was a very recent one (just a few weeks ago). Who knows what the future holds :)"

You should speak to my mother-in-law. She will change your mind. You'd understand what I mean after a few minutes, but it's most frustrating when you work with her one-on-one for several hours, write everything down for her, and within two weeks she still has trouble surfing on the Internet.
In short, those people still exist. And more on topic, evilviper was right on target. I'd love to find more programs in Linux Mint, but most names suck and I can't find jack. I've had to find most of my programs through random surfing on the Internet, Soylent News, and (before SN) Slashdot.
