Firefox.... it's FREE!!
My house is mere minutes from Microsoft's main campus, in Redmond. I was about thisclose to driving down there and chucking rocks at it's front door until someone came out and told me why IE for windows sucks so very very hard. Louise and I were trying to fix a problem with our three column layout on Satan's Bookclub and Win IE. Frankly, my first inclination was to just say "fuck off IE!" I probably did a few times. I don't have a pc to test with at home, so fixing the problem meant me trying anything I could think of and then pinging Louise on AIM and saying "look at it now!! look at it now!!" So I was going to drive down to the main campus and ask them what made them so special that they could just blow off any and all CSS compatibility? We have received sooo many comments and emails today! I don't know where people are finding Satan's Bookclub, but they are already stopping by. So we wanted it to work for everyoe. We fixed it. Louise had some old CSS that worked and I compared it to the new stuff and BAMF! three columns all in a row. Even in microsuck IE.
Everyone who uses IE... switch to Firefox now. I have two words for you, two words that will forever change the way you deal with the internet. Those words are "tabbed browsing." Trust me.

Comments closed on older entries, whenever I get around to it, to avoid spam.Congrats on the tag team effort it took just to make IE work. I sure hope that Firefox actually trademarked (or whatever) the whole tabbed browsing. It would be sweet to know the MS would have to pay Firefox team for their work and ingenuity (a lacking effort at MS). I know, I know, public domain crap and all...but I do not want MS to jump on their coat tails.
