He's 16 and a self-described geek. Pretty fair programmer in his own right - Java, C, LUA. Does the software for the robotics teams at school and got himself a paid internship at General Atomics, which is close to home, doing nuclear fusion research - all code - simulations. And a real BIG Linux fan, as well. Sounds like he's on the same track as your boy. (Popular saying here: the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.) But enough bragging. My only experience with IE10 wasn't good. I have one client whose FE and BE I maintain on their server. Remote access was set up by their network guy and the access did not work in FF. So I used IE - IE9. Then I got the upgrade to IE10 and found that 1) I the remote access work didn't work in IE10, and 2) I couldn't go back to IE9 without going back to a restore point. Eventually I found the toolbar with the Browser Mode selection so I run ie10 in IE9 mode which I can't figure out how to set as a default so I have to select it every time I run IE. PITA. But all the reviews I've read of IE10 have been real good. Do you find any compatibility issues with IE10? Sites that don't work, etc.?
