It ain't me, babe

I got an email message this morning from an outfit reminding me that Microsoft is retiring its Internet Explorer browser next month. Actually, I hadn't heard that before. And having left the Windows world for good several years ago, I can't say I care. Even when I was suffering through Windows, I had ditched that awful browser long before, as have most people.

I used IE for many years, but I don't feel any nostalgia for it. Now, Netscape, with the throbbing logo – those were the days.

I should have made the transition to Macs a lot sooner. You get way more money sucked out of your pockets in the Apple world, but there's less hassle. A lot less.
