FTP is a protocol, not a program

Sorry, but I'm rather pedantic when it comes to things like this. 
FTP does indeed stand for File Transfer Protocol, which means it's a protocol that's used throughout the Internet, just like HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol). Saying 'FTP is for PCs' is like saying only half the Internet population can see websites! 
The file you refered to is in fact WS_FTP, a rather curious name for an FTP client. Fetch is the Mac version of this /client/, it seems, but it certainly isn't the Mac's equivalent of an entire protocol.
Just had to mention that. 
Oh, and kindly put Internet Explorer before Netscape. The former is far better.
Better yet, just refer to Opera!

Wow, someone's actually reading the web design entries...
Re: protocol vs program- point taken. I'll amend that at some point; hopefully tonight.
Re: browsers- 
To be honest, never used Opera so I can't vouch for it either way, but I do agree that IE is better..

Phew, I'm glad you agree!
Did I forget to mention that I like the rest of the article?

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I amended both the "episode I" entry, and my proposed Uni project entry that smooshed all the web design entries together.
