My arch nemesis - Internet Explorer!!
I just discovered, to my absolute shock and lasting grief, that my blog which looks so well and tastefully done (even if I do say so myself) in my Firefox browser, looks like something the cat dragged in, when viewed in IE!!!
It has been several years since I've divorced Internet Explorer. We parted gracefully...she knew she was inadequate, so she made no claims to half my wealth, car and house, and I've been living happily ever since with Opera, and of late, Firefox because of firewall restrictions which prevent my using Opera at work!
So, can you blame me that it didn't even occur to me to view this blog in IE, just to make sure what is eye-candy in other browsers doesn't appear an eyesore in IE! Yet, it is IO IIO (ayyo, ayyayo for the abbreviation-challenged) in IE!
So, to all those who for some reason unknown to mankind still insist on using IE...all I can say to you, my dear friends, is go get a life, and a better browser. In fact, I've even made that part of my blog description, right on top!!!

Badri,
I hate IE myself but here's an irony. The company i work for has Firefox as its "offcial" browser but many of our intranet sites work properly only on IE. Considering the fact that i'd already filed for divorce, its emotional blackmail!

Thanks guys! It was consoling all right! I know Opera rocks,if it were not for the firewall issue...oh well, can live with Firefox!
