How Do You People Do It?
Saturday, August 07, 2004
Use Internet Exploder for Windows, I mean. This thing is ridiculous. You people put up with this thing every day? Or worse, far worse, actually
choose to use it? Christ on a bike this thing sucks. It really is the new Netscape 4.
I'm sitting here at a free class at
the North City Center (my girl and I thought it would be cool to do some Excel together - geek love :) and I'm sitting way in the back, paying attention selectively, seeing if we're going to get to cool stuff like pivot tables, working on
Jeff's site on my laptop since we're meeting this afternoon, and surfing around on the PC in front of me.
Since that said surfing is being done on the latest version of IE/Win, I'm swamped with popups galore when just trying to cruise
Google News for my morning RDA of insight. I'd totally forgotten what it was like. My Alt+F4 muscles are weak with neglect and straining under the sudden load. Even without the super cool tabbed browsing that comes standard with recent browsers, I could put up with this thing for the few hours that we're here but no! I have to get swamped with advertisements instead. Ugh.
Oh wait, pivot tables is on, my girl and I are awake again.
