Well, I still stick by my image. I do like those IE6 messages, even if they seem a little harsh. You don’t fault someone for driving around in an older car or wearing used clothes or watching analogue TV, why should using an old browser be any different?
June 18th, 2009 at 6:37 pmif upgrading from your old car/tv (which, i should note, didn’t work worth a damn) to a new one was free, i would definitely fault people for not doing so.
i mean, christ. IE6 hasn’t be “current” for 8 years at this point. why are its usage rates so high? it boggles the mind. it has never worked well or supported any standards, and yet it persists in large numbers. i don’t get it.
so as a person who has wasted countless hours trying to get even the most basic sites to work in that virus of a browser, i get joe’s back 100% on the sentiment. as for clothes clothes, i’d say they aren’t “technology” in the same way that tvs, cars, and software are. but if they aren’t, say, covering your naughty bits or keeping you warm (or whatever they are supposed to do) very well, and new clothes are available for free, yeah, again, i’d fault the dumbass for not taking the 5 minutes to download new clothes. i guess i’m just hateful.
