South of the equator, it's just backwards and the word is "COD" - "C" moons will grow and "D" moons will shrink.

TESTING IN WEB BROWSERS
If you only have time to do thorough testing of your web site or application in two web browsers, use Internet Explorer for Windows and Firefox for Windows or Mac OS. It needs to work in IE because so many people use it by default, and if it works in Firefox it'll work in nearly all the other third-party browsers, including Camino, Safari, Opera, etc. If you only have time to test in one web browser, you're in the wrong line of work.
