OK guys – it's time. Time to let go. Time to say goodbye to that IE6 Browser that’s running on your computer. Today’s websites are trying to provide advanced functionality – much of it runs locally to give you the speed and elegance you’ve come to expect from your other applications.
IE6 is making it hard on your web team to help your Association look spiffy and progressive; they would much rather be spending their time building a new widget that gives you useful information than working around the inefficiencies of that antique browser.
Latest worldwide counts indicate only 7.7% of the online world is using IE6 – how ‘bout you join the 92.3% and get with a more current browser. Your web team will really appreciate it.
There really is no reason not to do this – current, modern browsers are free – really free. They install in minutes and will make your online life so much more enjoyable. If you’re like most, you are spending almost a full working day online every week – doesn’t it just make sense to make that time as productive as you possibly can?
Encourage your members to do the same – tell them you can no longer support IE6. Give them the following links and help them improve their lives. I mean, really, isn’t your online time too valuable to waste?
