Dear Internet Explorer
Dear IE,
We once had something wonderful. You were my browser of choice, the only Microsoft product I used, and I was happy with that. You took care of me and did your job well. Eventually though you became cocky, even lazy. You no longer cared about my needs. You thought I could never find another. You thought our relationship would last forever, but oh how you were mistaken. I have moved on and never looked back.
I found a beautiful browser named Safari a long while back and we have been happy ever since. She takes care of my needs, even some I didn’t even know I needed. We have had a wonderful relationship since day one.
The reason for me writing this letter is that you, like most every ex, have become more of pain. Something I don’t ever want to remember or deal with, but you continue to show up in my day to day life. I’m politely asking you to go away. You and I fight on a near daily basis. I’ve seen you in my site stats. I have to cater to you, with ugly hacks and more. You, with your backwards thinking friends, always coming around. I’ve even heard you are changing, getting better soon, and finally addressing some things you should have been doing for years now. I wish you the best of luck with that, but as for me I will continue to love my Safari and continue to hate dealing with you.
Regards,
Christopher Ware
One of the most creative … ways to say your dislike for IE. Even though I am a Windows person, I have changed over to Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Anyway, great little post and great bright, soft design you have here!
Thanks very much.
I use Firefox when doing work on a PC, and love it, but I guess I am just more comfortable working and getting around in Safari.
I promise I can change, if only you will give me another chance. Next time I know things will be different. But maybe you only like those other browsers such as Safari and Firefox because they have got bigger tabs than me.
Well I only hope you are happy!
By the way, as you know, I am a keen entomologist…
So, you can keep the house and the car…
But please let me keep my huge collection of bugs.
That’s all I ask.
Yours always
‘IE’
My dear IE,
I am much happier now thank you. The bigger tabs are an added bonus of course, but I think my new browser and I just connect more on a personal level.
And I would NEVER think of taking your enormous collection of bugs from you. I know you have a very large collection.
just lovely!
i deleted my IE on both my windows laptop and my mac. i am so involved with Camino and Safari. just love ‘em!
