I tell loved ones that a trip will take about a week when it will take about 2 days and that it will take about a month when it will take a week. Regarding Explorer and Firefox, somehow they are different in some way that I don't understand. For example the streaming from the Volvo Ocean Race web site would not work on Firefox (which I usually use) but would on Explorer (which I don't use). And that was a big buck operation. Go figure.
