Pfft. Oh, by the way, I’m baffled as to why a browser that’s, what, half a decade old? is still expected to be supported as a “current technology”. Pfft.

IE is the bane of any web developer's existence. I think there just needs to be a mass movement of web developers who set up sites to detect IE and display a "GET FIREFOX TO VIEW THIS SITE" page instead of the actual content. If it decreases IE's browser use share even a fraction, I'm all for it. Anyone who argues the quality of private ventures over open, public efforts need only look at Firefox versus IE and Safari for ample illustration of why they're wrong. Gah, tell me about it.

But its static nature today fails to impart what made it truly enjoyable for me, which was watching the whole thing unfold. "Can they possibly come up with more variations on the same joke?" Yes, Virginia, they can. And they did. And seeing the whole thing happen was enormous fun. TODD as it stands now — a “completed” artifact — is fun.

I have all the other browsers, so whatever happens is cool. I haven't thought about TODD in years. You know, to this day if you type in "Milburn Junior High School", an old TODD caption of mine is quoted (stolen) on somebody's FAQ page... "TAKE ME NOW, LORD JESUS, THERE'S A DOG THE SIZE OF MILBURN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN MY TREE!" The new A1 works fine for me in IE. I have all the other browsers, so whatever happens is cool.

The problem there is that the programs won't work in my current setup, and fixing them at this stage seems like wasted work. I will get them up eventually, tho. (much like the todd archive, grumble mutter...) Oh hell no, it takes a major disaster for me to throw anything out.

I don't know what to tell you. All I know is that it really doesn't seem to be an issue in IE that makes it hard to read, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

I used to care more when 1) I was hosting my site on my home net and 2) the site was popular enough that bandwidth was a concern. Dreamhost gives me an insane amount of bandwidth, and I'd hit a CPU issue long, long before a bandwidth one. Eh, no longer an issue, really.
