    Question Anyone still using Internet Explorer 6?

    Even Microsoft wants it gone. http://ie6countdown.com/

    I'd hate to think what this site looks like using such an old browser. So who's still using it?

    Hey Spank, Shouldn't the question be ' who is still using explorer '

    How can you tell which version is being used?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Not me. But my Sun Ultra 5 at home is still using Netscape 7 so don't drop that yet.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I probably have 6 kicking around on a few machines, but it's not used day to day. IE is the best browser out there for a single purpose.

    Downloading Firefox

    My old lap top had it. It wouldn't let me log on to Internet banking, visordown and a few other sites. Not sure if trademe still worked with it

    My current PC has Explorer 8. Whats better about firefox? Havnt used it before.

    Anyone got a link to a download?

    Until recently had IE6 still running on some Win2K Pentium III machines But they're gone now and replacement machines are WinXP with Firefox. Still get hassled by computer geeks for not having everything on Win7
