"Sat Jul 3 00:00:40 2004 IE Dangerous!"

I wouldn't exactly call this "news," at least not to computer professionals who don't march to the beat of the Microsoft drum.

As Tony pointed out, it's very irritating to have to use Internet Exploder because some dork who thinks that Bill Gates invented the computer has sprinkled a liberal dash of half-assed HTML into his page code. I moved my business accounts from one back to another because of this. When the CSR at the old back called to ask why, my explanation had as much effect as farting in a tornado: she just couldn't understand the problem. I suggested to her she get the bank's IT weenies to give me a call so I could explain to them why I wasn't going to be forced into using IE just to make some simple transactions.

Now, how much you want to bet the spinmeisters at Monopoly, Inc. are bending their congressmen's ears to get political pressure put on CERT to back off on their anti IE statements?

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
