Pressure mounts to phase out Internet Explorer 6

[psp83]

A Downing Street petition is calling for the UK government to drop Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and move to a more modern browser

About time as-well!

I think everyone should put this on there sites (note : you will need jQuery from jQuery.com)!

We've only just upgraded from version 5 

[Rik]

 

[john]

Actually we've been using version 6 for a long time now but I heard yesterday that my manager is getting version 8 so hopefully they'll roll it out to the rest of the company soon.

[Rik]

 

[Glenn]

Still on 6 here, for the foreseeable future.

[Rik]

Unless Gordon has other plans, which I don't think likely.

[Glenn]

I can't see him paying companies not to use it.

[Rik]

Me neither, nor Govt departments.

Stop wrecking my dreams!!!!

An IE6 free world = heaven!!

This is more my idea of heaven, I don't really care which browsers others use

Lovely picture just one thing missing

[Rik]

Apart from the bar you mean, Steve?

[Steve]

Wondered where she'd gone to.

[john]

She's waiting for you around the corner Steve 

[Steve]

No that person's in Australia - seen them on a Mazda forum, don't ask why.

PS Looks like she's had one of those exploding cigarettes as well.

[Rik]

Or just a really bad dentist.

[Gary]

Or just a really bad dentist.

So most NHS Dentist in the UK then?

[Rik]

 

Mine's OK, but then he's not NHS.

[Simon]

Most of them are the same as the private ones though, aren't they?

[Rik]

Not really, the range of treatments on offer is much greater.

[Simon]

OK, but they are still as terrifying!

[Rik]

I only find the waiting room terrifying, once I'm in the chair I'm fine.

[Simon]

Both do it for me. 

[Rik]

Do you fear pain or the unknown?

[Glenn]

Thanks for the reminder, I just booked my checkup.

[Simon]

Both!

[Rik]

You should never feel pain with modern techniques, even the injection. After that, it's just a noise to me...

[Simon]

You do when they blast cold air at your teeth, to see which one makes you fly out the chair. 

[Glenn]

The dentist can't numb my top right canine tooth. She even injected into the nerve cavity in the cheekbone, as a final attempt, after 5 normal injections didn't work.

Go private, you get treated more gently.

Unfortunately, you can't block an upper quadrant as you can a lower one, Glenn. Has she worked out what's happening?

[Glenn]

Nope, it was a few years ago, I haven't had any need for treatment to that tooth since 

[Gary]

I never feel pain at my dentists not from the injection or the air blast or anything, I must admit finding a good private one is a god send, I almost fell asleep when he did one of my root canals, I quite like going, he has a screen over head and you can see what's going in if you want to, its fascinating but after 45 minutes laying down I doze off 

[Rik]

An X-ray could be revealing. Canines often get caught up with the sinuses...
