I HATE being extorted into upgrading as well. But sites have been like that for years now. It's like they all are in some kind of "upgrade conspiracy". What the hell business is it of them (websites) as to what browser people want to use? If they knew what they were doing, their websites would work in ANY browser! And, that is NOT hard to do, in fact, it's easier to leave them as they were with older browsers (which of courses work FINE with new browsers), than loading websites up with this bandwidth-hogging resource-hogging browser-proprietary garbage. I feel like "shooting them the bird" when I see that. -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" I know I'm a curmudgeon and often resist change, but this morning I went to a website and it told me my browser is out of date and I should upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 or higher. It seems to me that it hasn't been all that long ago since Internet Explorer 7 came out and that 8 has just been out a short time. It's almost like car manufacturers requiring everyone to buy a new car every year. I'm not against the rapid improvement of software, what I am against is making the older software obsolete so quickly. End of rant!
