Notice to IE Users… GET REAL!

I learned yesterday that the right-side-bar of this blog has packed up and moved South, all the way to bottom. In Internet Explorer only. Highly intelligent users of Firefox are not affected. No idea about Opera, Netscape, Safari, or others. I have not used IE in so long that I did not know this had happened, or when, and as yet don’t know why. So, if you’re still stuck in the broke-down lane with Internet Explorer, scroll down, way down, to find my links, etc.

Could I interest you in a fresh installation of Firefox? IE is so old, so patched and fixed and fixed and patched, so holey, so vulnerable … it sucketh badly. Help yourself and get a new browser. It’s free, easy to install, faster, less vulnerable … and you’re gonna love tabs… Microsoft says they will catch up. Right. Catch up next year to where Firefox is this year. But it seems the Mozilla dudes are not sitting still with Firefox either. Who knows where they will be next year, other than still way out in front of Billy Gates and the Redmond banditos…

    I e-mailed your post to my daughter, Jory. The very same thing has been happening to her blog too….at least when I view it on my screen. She says it doesn’t come up that way on her screen. Go figure. Thanks Winston.

    It’s OK in Opera 9.0, Winston.

    MS IE is crap anyway, it’s just that 3/4 of (my) blogreaders use it, so I have to do compatability tests after its OK in Opera.

    Meg would have known what to do. Shame she’s gone:-(

Of course I used the opportunity to goad readers who are still stuck in the slow lane with IE to consider a better alternative browser, such as my favorite, Firefox. [...]
