Back in 2004, the Mozilla Foundation placed a two-page Firefox advocacy ad in The New York Times, featuring the names of 10,000 donators.

What I wasn’t expecting though, was this prominently featured quote:

“I installed Firefox on my laptop
today. It’s so fast — I never knew
there could be that much of a
difference.”
— Stephen Cropp, New Zealand

What a legend. I wonder if Mr. Cropp is still using Firefox, and what he’s up to these days.

    Haha, that’s indeed a mouthful, but I think that works well in my favour. I’m very quiet IRL and not good at making small talk, so wearing a T-shirt like that makes for a great conversation starter. I can go on and on about topics that I’m passionate about, so if someone asks “why”, I’ll be more than happy to unload on them. :)

      I used to be quiet. Then I went through a phase of being a chatty person to colleagues. Now I’ve worked 95% from home for the past couple of years and now I’m back to being the quiet one 😆
