WIE7 Rant

Here's the deal: I got a pop-up message today that I needed to upgrade my IE from 6 to 7. So, I did. Now the darned thing is moving as slow as frozen honey. I am not pleased. IE6 was just fine and certainly moved a heck of a lot faster. I still miss my Windows98, too! Why can't improvements in the world of computing truly be improvements rather than a way for someone to get richer off the rest of us who just want to write or do a few odds and ends out there in the world without having to upgrade all the time just to get tech support for the programs that we want to use? ARGH!
