Thanks, Trallyus.

Holy Mother of GOD Geeze louise thats a lot of updating by golly

Not really spray as the biggest file in the bunch is 1.3 megs and all the updates together don't even come close to how big an apple itunes update is.

Thats cuz itunes is useful unlike window Just kidding tral you need to get a job were I work we are still using ie6 Oh the horror of it all. Good thing I have my personal mac next to it or I'd go batty most sights won't even open in IE6

Heck , I didn't know Windows was even still around , go figure .

Well today is your lucky day Amy!!! I just heard on one of my podcasts the Microsoft plans making it mandatory when they push out the updates to start finally updating everyones copy of ie to the latest version for the os they are using That means if your running xp you should get ie8 ,etc

Looks like it will happen in 2012 , so if you want to get past ie6, don't tell your it guy what I told you and hope he don't block the updates News about it is at - http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Micros...in-2012-862857/

Always the goat herder with you trying to get my goat

We can't upgrade our browser, the software we use doesn't work with anything later that IE6

BAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!
