.Net Jonesie - UltraMon & FireFox Dickheads

Thursday, April 27, 2006

I was tired of my old Dilbert desktop today so went searching for a snazzy new image. In the process I found a blog post to few sites with some lovely images that work well on dual monitors. I remembered that UltraMon allows you to span an image across two monitors or have different images on each. I downloaded and installed it and now I wish I had tried it out a long time ago. If you have dual monitors you must get UltraMon.

One of the sites I browsed tells me that IE Sux and I should use FireFox. There is no way of browsing the site at all with IE. To the the owner of http://www.guikit.com I'd like to say that if you believe that 75% of the world is wrong then go ahead and block your site, I don't give a rats. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion and you may well be correct but it's like saying that people who drive on the right hand side of the road are wrong and I'm going to drive on the left no matter where in the world I drive.

Then I discovered the brilliantly named site http://www.killbillsbrowser.com. How f'ing ridiculous can you get? OMG, get a life. What about all the corporate users who don't have a choice? I've seen this sort of campaign before - from OS/2 users, from BetaMax fans . Didn't work then, won't work now. FireFox is a great browser and IE 6 does have it's problems (to put it mildly :) but this sort of religious clap trap doesn't make anyone want to change. Just get over it!

Phew. That feels better.

Just as well he took the time to learn the standard English language! IE works a bit like my brain in the sense that it can interpret bad HTML much the same way that I can interpret bad English!

FWIW I'm using IE7 Beta 2 which is pretty good as W3C standards go and last time I checked firefox doesn't pass the ACID2 test either!
