So,
for about 90 percent of the real world I owe you my sincerest
apologies. Recently I did a rebuild of my site.... twice,
actually. The first build was 'okay', but after completion I
did
the 'pretend I'm a user' thing and just didn't like it *shrugs*
So I did a second build and fixed the little things that
bothered
me.
However, on the second build I totally failed to take into
account IE and especially the latest version of IE. (not so
the
first build, it was totally compatible and formated out correctly)
As
you no doubt have noticed, THIS build looks like crap in IE *sighs*
Smelly sticky ooey gooey crap at that. mmph.
It's fine in Mozilla. Which is as it should be.
To
be honest, I truly don't understand why anybody anywhere would even
Bother to use IE. I mean, I KNOW it's shoved down your
throat,
comes pre - installed, is an actual Part of the operating system and
Can't be removed, but the only thing I've ever used it for is on those
few occasions when I've gotten a new computer and it's the Only browser
on it. I use it Once to download a different browser and then
that's that, good bye IE.
Every now and then I actually hear /
read about people who say they 'prefer' it... I can only
assume
that a) they have never actually Tried another browser or b) they are
touched in the head.
I'll tell you why I got a stick up my butt about Mozilla... two words,
really...
If
you really dig into IE (and Opera and Safari, which, by the way, are
ten trillion times Better than IE) you'll find these two words at the
core of their very existence, and those two words are:
Mozilla Compatible.
Yep.
That's it, in a nutshell. Those others are Mozilla
knock
offs with their own personal bells and whistles layered on top...
but at the core, at the very Heart of all of those others is
a
Mozilla driver.
And that's because Mozilla was the First. They simply Are the
internet....
It's
like the Wheel. Despite all of the advances in technology
these
past ten thousand years the very Core of land transportation Still
revolves around the Wheel.
Gig is, most folks don't give
a rats tail what makes their car go, they just want to hop into their
blinged out Hummer with the sub woofer the size of my refrigerator
strategically placed under the back seat and go tearing down the super
highway destroying their ears And the environment... mmph.
So...
I
gotta do another build *sighs* Oh, not for YOU... you got
Mozilla, you're cool, you're hep, you're with it... no, not for you...
For that lemon sitting next to you.
*sploosh*
