(Please pardon this techie rant. I’ve just been in a lot of wrestling matches lately with IE6 and trying to get various sites to play nice with it.)

100 Reasons Why I Hate Internet Explorer 6

1. Bad CSS rendering.
2 - 100. Bad CSS rendering.

For The Sake of All That Is Good

If you’re still using IE6, please, please, please (ad nauseum) upgrade your browser.

Better yet, use Firefox.

Can you sue?

Actually, I could do better.  I finageled my way into getting admin rights on my desk and lab computers, so technically I could install whatever I wanted.  However, if I had any problem with my computer in the future and needed help fixing it, the tech guys would come in, notice my non-standard programs, blaim them off hand for any problem I was having, and re-image my computer.  Then I would have to start all over in customizing the computer with personal preferences and the actual necessary non-standard programs I use.  To much of a bother, so I suffer with IE6.

I do use IE7 at home.  It works pretty well, and I get tired of using fairly different programs to do the same thing at work and home.  To much effort to think.

Oh I couldn’t say this enough either.  Why would anyone use anything but Firefox???? (and a few more question marks for emphasis ??????)

Or better yet, use Opera. Firefox of course is nice, but not as fast as Opera.

euphrony probably won’t be reading this, but if anyone else is having the same problem, head over to portableapps.com, download Portable Firefox and stick it on a USB stick. Then just run it at work
