Rest In Peace Internet Explorer

The browser wars. What a time to be alive.

 

Maybe it’s time to give up those bootleg Windows ME licenses.

Or maybe they like getting ransomed for cryptocurrency

 

Man, I'm old. I used to use IE's daddy :

Any of y'all support that? lol.

 

I thought everyone finally grew up and started using chrome.

 

Oh man so many businesses don't get this. Especially big ones like hospitals, colleges etc. Doubly so when you have senior leadership who still don't know how to use e-mail.

 

Lynx?

 

I don't know if I ever used Lynx. If I did, it was only briefly. Mosaic and Lynx came around the same time, and well, Mosaic had... graphics. They both came around the time the WWW was "created" or popularized, so I went straight from posting on Internet newsgroups in the 80's via BBSes to finally getting on the WWW around '93, and so Mosaic may have been the first browser I settled on.

 

Telnet...that's what I used for my first e-mail account, in 1995, on bayou.uh.edu.

 

I use Opera because it’s mostly like chrome but with a little more privacy from Google.

 

Let's circle back around and have a knowledge transfer once we've cleared the runway and pushed the pig through the python. Hopefully that won't cause too much heartburn.
