I was late for the last meeting because the wheels to my stagecoach didn't fit in the ruts in the road and my horse tripped over a manhole cover.


I tried to ford the river. Didn't work :-\


In case you need reassuring:

"The SaveIE6 campaign was launched on April 1, 2009 and will last until April 1, 2010."


I'm busy saving people that kick puppies. But RIGHT after that ... I'll join your cause.


"You have been mislead by a vocal minority and are using firefox, which is clearly an inferior web browser to IE6. " <-- Good one :)


The download ie6 questionare: http://www.saveie6.com/download1.php is getting the better of me so far :( .

.

EDIT:

The questionare appears to be an Prank: 'how to keep a fool busy' :P . All the submit buttons are hyperlinks... and the last page just lets you re-take the questionare.

    <a href="download2.php"><img src="_img/butt_next.gif" width="185" height="53" alt="Next step" /></a>

Nothing is submitted.

BWAAAH :'( I want my IE6 download!!!


<sarcasm>Save IE6</sarcasm>


What's wrong with IE6? =]


Just as soon as I finish up the ¨Save the Ebola¨ campaign, I'm there!


This must be a joke....


From the page

SaveIE6.com was put together as an April Fool’s joke by the uptime monitoring service Pingdom. Due to the tremendous interest it has received we have decided to keep this site up and running. Thanks everyone for the great feedback and for enjoying the irony!


There should really be a <!--[if !IE 6]> around that div. ;-)
