Fuck them. Jesus H Christ, every god damned fucking day they encounter some secret, deep dark mysterious fucking problem. No explanation, no negotiation....just pull the plug and then I log back on like a little sheep breathing gratefulness all over my monitor just because I can get to use IE again.

I hate you Microsoft. If I were rich and could afford a dentist AND a new computer, I'd be getting a MAC.

4. Is there any conflict?
I use some sites that will only allow IE to download stuff.

5. POP IE when you need to go there.
I've had trouble with IE 7 and refuse to use it at home.

10. Are you nervous?
You will do great! I am trying to decide about which school I will apply to in the spring. I may move back to MA because there are more choices. I've almost narrowed my major to psychology or journalism. I'm gonna take a few online courses through the winter and start looking for grant money for school.

16. Which version? IE 8 beta?
Try cleaning your cache and temp folders and ensuring the cache folder's size is something close to 50mb. Too much cache hampers the system too.

I've found IE to be more reliable than firefox 3.03, which seizes up at specific yet random times.

18. You would think they would teach to avoid those things.
It's like it is looking for bad influences.
