If Internet Explorer was your girlfriend
December 26th, 2004 by Sarin
Many people know that I am a HUGE FireFox advocate, but I know many still won’t part ways with their old bitch, MS Internet Explorer. Hopefully this might brush the hair out of their eyes. Link via [Waxy].
Internet Explorer: The Girlfriend from HellRelated Posts Share this post:
by: Arve BersvendsenImagine, for a while that your girlfriend is MSIE:
* She frequently gets infected with STDs.
* She frequently shows up where you haven’t invited her.
* If she has been infected, she may give birth to children, even when she’s not around. She may, for instance give birth to her children when you wake up in the morning.
* She allows everybody in to install surveillance equipment in your house, without ever telling you.
* If you want her to clean up her act, she demands that you buy her a new, bigger, and more expensive house first.
* Her capability to multitask is non-existent. If you want her to perform several tasks, you have to invite one of her identical twins for each task you want performed.
* Her identical twins will also spawn the children from hell, even when not asked for. Unless you have bought the new, bigger, and more expensive house that is.
* She, her spawn from Hell and her twins will leave a horrible mess on the floor, and won’t clean up. Unless you have bought them that new, bigger, and more expensive house that is. Even then, they won’t clean the floor before it’s beyond messy.
* Even after buying her that new, bigger and more expensive house, she looks grey and worn, and aged without grace.
* In the midst of any activity, she might decide to just die, and you’ll have to call in one of her identical twins.
* Should you decide to make a swap, and find a modern, neat and nice girlfriend like Opera or Firefox, she won’t really go away. She’ll be sitting hidden in some closet, and may occasionally drop the spawn of hell in your living room.
* When you’ve dumped her, she won’t remove any of the surveillance cameras she let strangers install. You’ll have to call in a cleaning expert to do that.
* Since she regularily has slept with a lot of other people, you may from time to time encounter businesses who refuse to deal with you, unless you bring your old girlfriend.
My dad said he’s putting Firefox on my comp before I leave for Lebanon. It looks interesting.
You just may have made me a convert.
Hell Yeah.
It’s about time that consumers can finally trust the Internet, after years of pop-ups, spyware, hangups, and other malicious software.
And we’ve only got one company to blame.
Just an update. I switched and I swear my computer actually runs faster!
Bam. It’s been known to do that.
