    I have a rant!!! Short but sweet.:mad:

    Why are a lot of web sites lately giving me sh!t about using Internet Explorer 6? Yes... I know it's an old browser, But I like it. Just why in this day and age can't webmasters make their websites backwards compatible?:? :? :? :cough, :youtube:

    Sometimes, I think they want us to use the newer browsers just to squeeze even ten more ad's per page.:think: :mad:

    Still using win xp at work? See that's what I mean!!!

    I like ie6. I could almost browse with no eyesite, I'm so used to it. I have FF installed, but I still come back to ie6 over and over.

    Well, I think they want everyone to migrate to IE8 and IE9 to fix all those security holes.

    because developing a site for IE 6 & 7 is worse than experiencing a constipation.

    and this is the saddest news: the browser on WP7 is based on IE7. bummer!!

    Firefox + Tab Mix Plus + vertical tab rows = rox0r! :thumb:

    That's the reason I'm still with Firefox and not IE or Chrome. Hate IE and Chrome has no vertical tab rows! :doh:
