Grinds my gears; IE 6 Users

You know what really grinds my gears?

This gripe is similar to one I had with PHP4/5 were I don't actually have a problem with Internet Explorer 6 believe it or not. Internet Explorer 6 served me and many many other people very well in its time.

Now, however, it is an ugly beast that we need to let die. The only minor thing stopping this is the millions of people that still use it. I know many of these people are not interested, have there hands tied (i.e. at work) or just don't know any better. However, the matter of fact is, they still force me to consider Internet Explorer 6.

There are some really quite interesting and funny ways to encourage and educate people into upgrading. Perhaps we should all resort to nagging users to upgrade. I know I'm tempted to do something on my website despite only 9% of my visitors this year using internet explorer.

...and that people is what grinds my gears!
