I'd think the BBC could do better.

Well, I guess I won't be checking my e-mail anytime soon (my university's proprietary e-mail system isn't compatible with Firefox, which is unfortunate).

It has to be a joke... why would they use the term geeky for firefox users??
Anyone notice all the links point to jolt.co.uk?
It's not a BBC news site; the man-crack is rather funny though. I almost wish the BBC would do something like that.

That was absolute class... :D

You know you can masquerade your user-string, so firefox can pretend to be any other browser it wants. I can't think of a reason why any webmail would be incompatible with firefox, unless it used dodgy css/javascript.
It has to be a joke... why would they use the term geeky for firefox users??I have to concur, also Mozilla isn't esoteric either.

And I'm using IE right now. Argh. O_O
Also, that image has scarred me for life.
:p
Also...
"Also it seems that the esoteric web browser Firefox, used by a geeky minority of the internet population, seems to be unaffected by this virus".
ROFLMAO
It's a good April Fool joke. The only defect of it is the time the report was posted has actually been yet! It's only 10.14 GMT on 1 April 2005 as I write this.
