This makes me a kinda sad. Do you see why? It’s Internet Explorer 6. But more: it’s Internet Explorer 6, installed on my Mac. :(
This happened because the Acer laptop that I have been using up until this point to test sites on IE died. It had a long life, for an Acer—5 years. And now, it’s gone forever. RIP, Acer.
I thought you gave up on IE6? And I thought Acer died a long time ago and thats why pickles bought a macbook?
Those statements are both true.
I have given up on IE6, more or less, and the Acer did die a long time ago.
That said, I have been using IEs 4 Linux for a couple years to test sites on the Acer.
When the Acer died a couple years ago, I brought it back to life by reformatting it and installing Ubuntu. That kept it going for a while until a couple days ago when it would no longer recognise that it had a hard disc inside it, and it started making disconcerting clicking noises.
I use IE6 just to see what IE6 is doing to my sites, and to see if I can live with that. And, if my sites happen to work on IE6, then so much the better for the people who use it. :P
Now, I’m using IEs 4 Mac, which is good, as far as programmes that make your computer run IE6 go.
