Getting away with Murder

Desperate times call for for desperate measures...well we are not quite in this situation. But seriously..if you are still surfing the web using Internet Explorer 6 it's high time you upgraded or switched to another browser - that's faster and better. We can't force you.. but we are requesting you to kill IE 6. We guarantee you'll get away with it.

Of course here at Festoon Media we have the skills and give a high priority to ensure that whatever we develop is backwards compatible.... but we get that despairing feeling when we have to put in that extra bit of code just to ensure that things work smoothly on your antique browser - IE 6!!!

Antique furniture is cool. Antique browser - not. So, do yourself [and us] plus everyone who might be using your computer to surf the web by getting rid of IE 6.
Here are some points to help you in making this monumental change:

• IE 6 = Slow JavaScript engine {what is javascript? ...well lets just say it makes webpages cool and functional}
• IE 6 = Incorrect rendering of web pages
• IE 6 = Bad security
• Bill Gates will send you a free copy of Windows & Doors Vista Edition once you upgrade OR use a better browser. You will have to send them a mail with your browser update details. This is a strategy by Microsoft to reduce the amount of expense they have been incurring due to the millions of customer complaints from IE 6 users who lost data on their computers because of this ancient browser.

Consider the last point false. However this is true: IE 6 Funeral[s] have already been held world wide. Now go kill yours. Some browsers you might consider giving a try to help you in this task: Use Chrome, Firefox, Safari or upgrade to a newer version of IE. We stand strong in our mission to make the World wide web a better place for you to enjoy. Kill IE 6. Some people think you should dump IE all together but lets leave this for another day.
