    I’m trying out your new sandbox theme!! Very interesting!!!!
    It’s a lot easier to use without all the visual distractions on both sides!
    ‘Specially for peeps with ADHD!!! *cough*
    However, I do miss the smilie batallion!! :shock: :cheese: :clueless:

    Re: Should we trash all IE hacks?
    Absolutely!! (I voted Y)
    I noticed that the numbers for IE6 users is down to about 50%, so it’s time for action from some of our most intrepid web developers!!!!!!!!!!*ahem*
    What may be needed is for a coupla developers to embargo IE6 & put a litte banner on some sites that says, “This site will not display correctly in IE6.
    Download & install FireFox at ” or InternetExplorer7 at
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
    When other site devpers see that, it might start catching on!!!!
    It might also be helpful to include some tutorial & support site links for the
    GUM0WUs (Great Unwashed Masses of Windows Users) (Which I will be soon joining, for totally altruistic & masochistic reasons! Linux is just way too easy!!)

    Another idea to help promote this could be a web devper making a video of downloading & installing FireFox on a typical windows XP/Vista box or lappy.
    It’s very easy & quick, but windows paranoia stops most peeps from even thinking ’bout it. The vid would help overcome the fear & loathing!! FWIW?

    Thanks for the linky list, Beth. Outstanding as usual & NO, you can’t quit!!

    Cheers, Weendoz geek wannabee Lance (but only in VM!!! Raz0r-HALP!!)

    Yep on the IE hacks. Only when folks realize they have a second rate browser will they change to something more competent.
