IE6 RIP

This is hilarious. Someone in Denver is holding a funeral for IE 6. Its about time. That browser had all kinds of bugs. It was one of the key reasons why I used navigator. The fact that my company had a contract to improve navigator at the time - had nothing to do with the decision. IE 3,4 and 5 were sketchy as well. IE stabilized at 7 imho and is now promptly destabilized again with 8. Thank god for Firefox.

The attendees all wore black. This would have been full-on classic. Read the article, its great. Here's a quote:

"I feel terrible admitting this, but ... I never really liked him," posted someone who gave his name as Eddie Escher. "He had so many hang-ups, and he looked awful -- especially in his later years. But... he was always there when you needed him. You have to give him that."
