And I hope you take mine too. You are closer to this so it means something to you. For me I just want to keep up with my friends blogs. Franks is screwed up for me too by the way. I do.

I'm not trying to be standoffish; my insults should all be taken with a grain of salt. What it really boils down to is that I think there are all kinds of cool things that can be done with web design now that alpha channel transparency is available, and it's infuriating that IE6 didn't support it, since the PNG format has been around for years (and has been supported by other browsers for years).

A good majority of the computers at our work are hooked up to validated pieces of equipment. Any change in the software could change the way the system works. It would need to be revalidated at that point. It is possible and will likely happen at some point but a long process must be gone through to make it happen. I can at least read what you post it just doesn't look the way you intend. Not a big deal. If I want I could check on my home computer. They have a perfectly goo reason.

Still, I don't think corporations have a good excuse for not letting users run Windows Update themselves if their I.T. departments aren't going to do it, especially given how long IE7 has been out now.

We are not allowed to upgrade to IE7 or firefox. So I will have to "suffer". Actually I could care less what your site looks like, I go to it to read your blogs not to check out a "fancy" design.
