In short they both suck! I hate the way they look and feel, you can configure it they way you can with IE6. So for now I will stay with IE6. When somebody makes something that is as user friendly and asteticly appealing as IE6 then I will swich. I am wondering if Opera is any good, I hate Firefox and Crome with the whole tab thing, very frustrated at this point. I’ve downloaded IE7 and EI8 2x and only to uninstall it hours later or less.

I also find IE6 easier to control re elements such as customization of toolbars. I have signed petitions to protect and preserve IE6. Programmers are clever and knowledgeable. Right? I will tell you who I feel sorry for. People who made the mistake of downloading IE 7 or 8 !! Thank you for this opportunity to sound off. P l e a s e consider those of us who are in need of simplicity, readability, and the speed that comes of keeping things clean and free of unwanted "improvements" that often are nothing more than disguised -- or undisguised -- advertisements.

-He has Windows 2000

-A very old comp

-And doesnt like spending money on his comp to upgrade it.

-Has absolutley no space on his comp

-His main reason is because he has no space and says he would upgrade if he had more space.

-Strangley enough he knows a lot of computers but his comp is stuck in the 90’s.
