Sat It Ain't So!

According to CNN, certain people are trying their best to do away with IE 6 and force people kicking and screaming in protest to upgrade to IE 8.

IMHO, that would be an absolutely terrible mistake.

I recently "upgraded" to IE 8 and was reminded once again that "New and Improved" is almost always always only half right. In the first few minutes - *MINUTES* - of use I discovered that not only did the screen look "funny" but the spell check feature of the Google Toolbar did not work, I was not able to listen to the radio online as I like to do while working on the computer, and every time I signed into a second G-Mail account IE 8 automatically signed me out of the first one "for my own protection."

You gotta be kidding me.

All that in just a few minutes? And this is supposed to be BETTER??????

I couldn't uninstall that "piece of work" fast enough.

I am quite happy with IE 6 and I will thank you meddling techies to leave well enough alone.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
