Funeral Being Held Today For IE6

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-riddance dept.

An anonymous reader writes "More than 100 people, many of them dressed in black, are expected to gather around a coffin Thursday to say goodbye to an old friend. The deceased? Internet Explorer 6. The aging Web browser, survived by its descendants Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, is being eulogized at a tongue-in-cheek 'funeral' hosted by Aten Design Group, a design firm in Denver, Colorado."

    that some people still have time to waste at work. On the other hand, they got some free publicity out of it.

    I'm at home, drinking a cup of coffee, reading a news article in the morning. Not dressed up, at a fake funeral for a piece of computer software that isn't dead anyway. Take your sarcastic comments and dull sense of humor and shove them up your pretentious ass.

    Thanks for the long condescending response. If you enjoy standing in a cemetery, pretending you're at a funeral than I guess you're in luck. After all, that is clearly the same as drinking at a bar.
