We have an extranet site here that's not just IE6 only, it's XP only. As in, if you upgrade to Vista you're on your own, please don't upgrade to Windows 7. I'm not sure what all they put in the code to make it do that.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Steph,
what kind of Nokia phone do you have? I have a Nokia phone and the times I need to get on the Internet with the Touch, I fire up Joikuspot and I get wireless if I have a 3G connection.

Is it common for something to work in IE but not Firefox?
Very. Depending on your attitude about standards, it's either a bug or a feature, but IE will try to render bad code, while most other browsers will throw up their tiny little hands. On the other hand, there are some convenient styles IE won't pay any attention to, and IE and Firefox render certain kinds of widths differently. In response, I curse a lot.

Ahh. I did know that. It just looked so good in IE, it was hard to tell anything was funky.
There was such an exclamation of dismay around here when we heard the site would have to work in IE6.

anybody else having Facebook issues right now? I can't get to my inbox in Firefox, and IE is telling me that it can't find the page at all. It could be the craptastic work internet, so I thought I'd check.

Twitter question-- I want to block my nephew temporarily to ask others a question about his Xmas present. If I block him, will he have to re-follow me when I unblock him?

Trust my rage
I went to this meeting of Army wives last night - it's a group of about 25-30 of us and the woman in charge is responsible for passing out all sort of information via email. Given that she's sending several emails a day, I suggested a listserv (I was thinking Yahoo Groups because I'm familiar with it). Everyone liked the suggestion but someone pointed out that .mil email addresses are unable to receive/participate in listservs.
Does anyone here know if that's true? If it is, is there a way around it? Anything better than Yahoo Groups?

Steph, I got an "Black Friday" preview email from Apple today, and it looks like the iTouch is gonna be regular price -- the bene is free shipping. So I'd buy at your store.
