Do you keep your browser garaged in the winter?

Checked out the server logs this morning. One of the neat things about them is that they can tell me what operating system & web browser our visitors are using. Somebody rode into our site yesterday on a Win98 OS running Internet Explorer 4.01 browser. Wow!

Why wow? Because that browser was released in 1997. To put it into pop culture perspective: Internet Explorer 4.01 was cutting edge technology the year that Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ally McBeal and Dharma & Greg premiered on television. It was the best Microsoft had to offer the same year the Backstreet Boys were dominating the airwaves with songs like "As Long As You Love Me". It was also the year I resolved not to see "Titanic".

It's probably someone's mother desperately occupying herself on stupid sites like this while she waits for her son, who is "good with computers", to call or stop by to share his love & tech support. If that's the case, then she should know that her son is probably very busy and, besides that, he's a Mac guy and hasn't the foggiest idea of what to do with a PC. Besides, he only USES a computer at work and doesn't fix computers for a living so please stop telling people he's a "Computer Expert".

Love you. I'll stop by on Sunday.
