Yea it is time to let IE6 rest in piece. Switch to Firefox. Way better! And if you liked the layout of IE6, do what I did and rearrange all your buttons and bars to replicate IE6 with Firefox I got the best of both worlds. I have a layout that I find much easier to use than the one bar mashed up with everything and I have the latest in web browsing technology. WIN WIN!
I use IE and it works perfectly fine with all these websites. I don't see with the problem is, just elitists that want to get rid of a perfectly fine browser.
