      Search just a little bit more, you'll find that this browser IQ study was a hoax.

        I did, as I located the article on my 'Opera' Portal News ๐Ÿ˜„ http://my.opera.com/portalnews/blog/2011/08/01/study-shows-opera-users-to-be-significantly-smarter

        But I wasn't going to let the 'cat of of the bag' quite so quickly! But there may be some truth to it ..... or so I would like to think ..... really opening myself up for a 'hit' on this one ๐Ÿ˜„

            Hoax or not the IE6 position gave me a chuckle.

            On occasion I still run into problems that result from clients who are still using IE5 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ - they tend to be the sort of person who doesn't know what a browser is, or that you have to be online to read email.

            True story :- whilst corresponding with a client via email earlier this week I asked a them to "email" the images they wanted me to use for their website. Yesterday I received a letter in the post containing various photographic prints and a post-it that read "here is the "email" you requested". The note also had a scribbled drawing labelled "this is the logo I need you to use" ๐Ÿ˜•

                It's probably most true in relation to browser user's "tech savvy" as opposed to their overall IQ.

                Now that I think about it, I can connect the browsers that many people I know use to their proficiency in internet, computers, and technology in general.

                    Yes, I would agree with you. Younger people have grown up with this technology but the 50+ folks did not.

                    I have set a couple of very smart guys (my age 50+) up with iPhones, MacBooks and iPads. Their initial concerns where that they would not be able to handle the technology but after a very short time they were up and running like greyhounds out of traps with no looking back! I have to laugh at them when they now ask me techie questions when a couple of years ago they didn't know what an app was ๐Ÿ˜„

                    I've been playing with computers since the Sinclair Spectrum and IBM Twin Floppy back in the 80's so managed to keep up with the younger generation ...... or so I'd like to think ๐Ÿ˜’

                      I remember in the beginning when all things Microsoft was evil and I used Netscape.
                      Now we know Bill Gates is the cool philanthropist and Jobs the greedy bastard.

                        That's true up to a point.

                        I have to use IE as that's what most of my clients use and I have to be on the look out for problems that might effect the website designs I produce.

                        Otherwise I would use Firefox or Chrome for personal use.

                          The tables have turned, eh? I'd say that MS had it's share of greed; charging half the price of a new computer for the retail price of a MS OS was pretty steep, then needing multiple patches and service packs to make the OS work properly added to the irritation. Apple's quality is excellent overall, for me and many of the people that have the same concern about Apple is the tight fisted control over the whole package and the lack of free software options like Windows has. Wicked expensive, too. I'll keep my PC freedoms, thanks That said, I hated my win 6.1 mobile phone and my iPhone is great!

                            Adam, yep, OS X is one flavor and cheap .... worth at least x10 if compared to Win OS prices IMO ๐Ÿ˜„

                            I also find that there are a lot of Mac apps that are good value for the money also and I notice this more with the recent launch of the App Store.
