It recently has come to my attention that PC users stuck in the stone age of computing accessing this site via Internet Explorer are greeted by a confusingly jumbled page.
I work on a Mac and use Firefox as my browser, and most of my friends do likewise, so that’s why it’s taken me so long to realize something is awry on Explorer.
Alarmingly, 42 percent of my readers use Internet Explorer, I discovered this week.
I’m working to fix the problem. But in the meantime, you might consider buying a Mac trying this free download of Mozilla Firefox for Windows.
Not only will you be able to view this page in its proper layout, but you’ll have a browser you can customize with hundreds of options to suit your personal tastes. The makers of Firefox also say it’s faster and more secure, but I can’t vouch for that (although I suspect it’s true).
What I can say for sure: It almost never crashes, unlike Explorer.

Ha ha. You’re so funny! I’ve been working full time as a software developer for the last 25 years or so, and I have always enjoyed the high and mighty stance that Mac users have. Maybe it’s a result of all y’all wandering in the wilderness for so long. I was once in the Steve Jobs Reality Destortion Field (remember the NeXT?). Didn’t last long. With a market penetration looking something like 95%, Windows is the only OS to target. And I hate to inform you that IE has a significant market share over any other competitors (I’d quote numbers, but they’re kind of subjective).
My computer is gonna’ turtle your computer.
I never disputed market share, only effectiveness.
