Welllllll.......

This appeared on today's www.littlewhitedog.com:

IE 5.5 SP1
New version of IE is now available 5.5 SP1 - snag / update your copy from
WindowsUpdate.

The newest version of Internet Explorer includes improved support
for DHTML and CSS, which gives Web architects greater control over
browser appearance and behavior. Enjoy the ability to preview Web
pages exactly as they will appear when printed. Internet Explorer 5.5
Service Pack 1 (SP1) makes it easier than ever to connect to the
Internet and find the information you need.

Try to give a little heads up here, and get chopped to pieces.
Thats the way I like it, nice and friendly. Good ol' AT.
But after 2 years, you guys don't even bother me anymore.

I apologise if I sounded hostile but IE5.5sp1 has been on general release on the windows update site for a few months now! 😱

Personally,

I prefer Netscape Navigator 4.08 and Opera 5.11

 

[Bozo Galora]

Yeah, me too. Dont get those ads in messenger, and no kern. 32 errors.
Opera much faster/leaner.

And I emailed Littlewhitedog asking about the update - never answered.

 

[Bozo Galora]

well, just got an answer from Fido as follows:

&quot;
I don't know what the hell I was thinking.... I was surfing around and saw it posted somewhere, and though -
cool I'll post it. Guess I needed more caffeen or something..... &quot;

WTF is up with those kernel 32 errors? I am using Win 98 with IE 5.0. And just did a clean install. Would switching to 5.5 help out?

No but switching to Windows 2000 might.😉

No but switching to Windows 2000 might.

I know... I'll probably do it soon.

No way!! I'm not sure about Opera but Netscape will always suck. Those people can't code to save their lives. They leave so many memory leaks that Netscape is the 1 sure thing that'll crash any OS...ANY OS.

Netscape 6 looks a little &quot;new-aged&quot; Maybe Java code? In any case, I guess less of a chance of a crash since it probably encompasses the real time garbage collector but still. I haven't seen a browser crash as much as Netscape. Moreover, since they're part of AOL TimeWarner, screw them.

I'll say it again, I support the lesser of the 2 evil empires.

O.K. - I looked around to redeem my stellar reputation and found this:

IE 6.0 Build 2488.1 (Win 2K/XP)

redemption

BTW: Note how my son posts within one minute of his beloved father.

[gygheyzeus]

Yeah, I was wondering why I saw no updates available there. Then I remembered I've had this for months 🙂
