Death to IE6!

Written by dougkeeling


Ok, Internet Explorer 6 was great when it first came out, but yikes!! One of biggest problems is that it doesn’t allow for .PNG file transparency.  So instead of a .PNG looking like this:

An illustration of my desktop.

In lousy, primitive IE6, it looks like this:

Yeah, the gray is permanently in the background.

Now isn’t that gray around the computer annoying?!  Not to mention the terrible way it renders CSS layout.  For you normal people who aren’t into web design, you may notice that some websites look absolutely messed up in IE6.

So, I beg of you, if you’re one of the people in the world still using Internet Explorer 6, please, please upgrade to IE7. It’s free! In fact, there’s even a newer version – IE8! You can download it here.

Now if you’re really in the mood to be adventurous, consider downloading either Firefox, Safari, or Opera.
