Personally, I’ve not noticed any. A couple of us have access to Firefox here and recently I’ve been using it a lot more than IE7 which is prone to crashing (and is slower to load).

We are trying to persuade our IT dept to let us use firefox - but they say it causes 'problems' on pc's - does any who uses firefox from an NHS network know what they might be referring to?

 

Many thanks,

Subject: BMJ letter "Libraries of the future"

Did anybody else see the letter in this week’s BMJ (10th October) p821 - http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/339/oct05_2/b4065

“Libraries of the future”? (Apparently wikis are the libraries of the future!) 

 

It irritated me sufficiently to put a reply in which is now on the BMJ website under the Rapid Responses to the letter.  If anybody else wants to stick the boot in please don’t feel you have to hold back.

 

Regards,
