Using IE? You must be ffikk!

[nigelb]

Ok, I use IE8 so I must be a dummy. I am no big fan of Microsoft but using another browser means I would have to have two since IE is integrated into WinXP and is needed to check for Microsoft updates.

I believe that's not the case, it just needs a web browser, certainly my laptop has XP installed and I've removed every trace I could find of IE and put Opera on, works fine and I still get updates.

I wish I still had IE6 and not IE7 I found myself forced into getting

I wouldn't Dave, IE6 at work as well and it's rare to find a website that renders properly in it these days.

Ha! And you all fell for it

Of course , I being that little bit older,wiser and hence more mature saw through that little prank immediately.I just chose to keep my own counsel, sit back and smirk while all those younger and less wordlywise individuals fell for it.What a jolly jape!.

Yes, of course, I knew it was a bogus story too. I just pretended to believe it so I could be one of the gang and not be laughed and pointed at.
