Developer's Random Act of Kindness

February 07, 2009 by carmelyne

Can you help me make a fellow web developer smile?

Hi there! I have been a web developer for a decade. I've boldly stopped supporting outdated browsers in the past and have always been an early supporter of Web Standards.

I call this page my DRAOK page. It's a developer's random act of kindness for a fellow web developer. I can only complete my deed if I can convince you today to upgrade to any of the following standards compliant browsers linked below.

Upgrade now!

Top 4 reasons why you should upgrade

Web Standards — old browsers lack support for standards set by W3 Consortium
Security — provides the least security thus causing the transfer of malwares and virus into your computer
Cost to Companies — companies pay exorbitant amounts of money to have websites and web apps working in ie 6 which could go towards improvements rather then paying more for backwards compatibility.
It's time — IE6 is long over due of an update and upgrades are available to you for FREE from a variety of sources as recommended above
