MSIE is evil !

<rant>I don’t know, maybe I haven’t paid enough dues lately to the MSIE-Haters Club… I must have not been doing my share of IE-bashing, cause my karma seems to be out of whack. I was getting by pretty good for a while there, but I guess I have recently failed to make sure that “the other browser” was still happy with my CSS and page layouts.  HA! As though MSIE had a clue what it was supposed to do with proper CSS. If you are viewing this page with MSIE (v6) and it looks like this : (all jammed to the left, no font adjustment, color, etc… not to mention UN-transparent PNGs) . . .

Go download a ‘real’ browser like Firefox, and see how it supposed to look.

I sortof accidentally just discovered that somewhere over the last few months, something subtle has changed, as now half my pages are screwed up when viewed with MSIE6 - I don’t even want to know about MSIE7. It is sad when the primary enticement to get customers to upgrade is to take out SOME of the bugs, and replace them with yet-unknown bugs . . .  Scheech - whatta racket ! I mean come-on - MSIE works better on a Mac these days than it does with Windoze !

Probably cause I spent time hangin out with www developers, and designers who knew how to make stuff look and work right. Probably cause they spent hours beyond budget allowance trying to accommodate MSIE’s super-spastic behaviors . . . You’d-a-thought I’d learned to coughing up my dues, and spend the due diligence making sure that “the other #!*@+# browser” was still happy.
So much for living right.

I guess this time my karma got run over by their dogma … … … </rant>

Bear with me while I clean up this mess.   /;^)

Fortunately most all of the people in my life that matter,
