If you like Firefox, then you'll love the AdBlock Plus add-on. I hardly see any ads while browsing. It's awesome!

hey Rudy,
Just wanted to let you know that I downloaded Firefox about two weeks ago and have been using it more and more (almost exclusive now). It was easy to learn the differences from IE6, and I like it a LOT more. Especially since there is a headline today about a huge security hole in IE!
Just like using ATMs and getting a cell phone, I’m wondering what took me so long.
Long live FIREFOX!

Sounds like a good idea, Brett. Do they pay people for writing worm viruses?

Dinosaur companies that refuse to upgrade from IE6 or allow people to install something better need to be punished.

Someone, quick, write a worm that *only* infects machines using IE6, that formats the C: drive on the next reboot. Maybe that will send a message

(Yeah, I know that’s nasty, but hey, it’s Friday and I’m in a silly mood!)

@Farzan: I’m glad you could confirm it was all ok.

@Lin: If only technology doesn’t move as fast as it does, people will have no trouble with high-tech. At this rate of change, it’s no wonder businesses (and individuals) are reluctant to upgrade or buy new equipment.

@Steve: Your troubles inspired me to research and write a new post. So, it’s good that you pointed it out to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know! Thanks for your input.

hi Rudy,
I am very sorry to be a trouble-maker.
I keep thinking I’m getting a new computer soon so I don’t bother upgrading from IE6 until then. But now I think I’m going to download Firefox and make the change. Your post cracks me up. It explains why more and more websites aren’t working for me this year. Seems like the problem has really been growing lately.

PS. Thanks for making your blog accessible again to us IE6ers.

Rudy, I’ve tried my best to persuade The Boss to let me switch the browser to Firefox but so far it’s a no-go. He’s um…..very low tech, and I’m lucky to have a fax machine let alone a computer with internet access. So I’m not complaining about being stuck with IE but I agree IE6 must die!
