Friends don't let friends use IE6…

Are you using Internet Explorer 6 as a Browser for your Internet searches?

Then repeat after me:

I (state your name) have a problem. I need help. I am powerless to this faulty browser and need an intervention ASAP.

Okay now then. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Now we can make the Internet a better place by replacing your browser with Firefox or another browser.

I can hear some of you say, “Well, why?”

Yes, grasshopper, I shall tell you and then you too will abandon this albatross around the necks of web developers and websites everywhere and we can all live in a better world.

IE6 is dead. RIP IE6.

IE6 has been the bane of web designers and developers since, well since IE6 was built. Based on the fact that: 1.) there are 2 more recent versions of Internet Explorer available for everyone; and 2.) there are more choices for web browsers out there besides IE, the web community is sounding the death knell and writing the obituary as we speak; and 3.) it is not standards compliant and doesn’t follow the CSS and HTML specifications; these are all reasons why you DO NOT have to use IE6 ANYMORE! Rejoice!

If you are neither a web designer or developer, then we should perhaps probably back up and talk about why you should be upgrading your browsers anyway.
