Random Linux nerds who were bullied. BULLIED, I say. When we coded our personal sites on Netscape on Linux (which was painful enough when Netscape 4 had a hazy understanding of CSS1/2 already) and the site had some random glitches on IE from time when we couldn’t ensure IE compatibility.
This “IE6” shit needs to stay buried, OK? This is “history that must never repeat” shit, OK? OK. Good.
BONUS JOKE:
There was a whole range of jokes dedicated to what happens when you shoot yourself on foot with your favourite programming language.
My favourite was this:
“You shoot yourself in the foot with JavaScript.
If using Netscape, your arm falls off.
If using MSIE, your head explodes.”
Now make it work on IE6.
Hey. Hey hey hey HEY.
That’s not fair to us.

After adding rounded corners.
Ah, I remember the days when they used to be using PNGs for those.
Ah, and I remember doing it.
I wish I didn’t.
PNGs!? Oh sweet summer child…
IE6 didn’t support PNGs? I guess I could misremember but I am fairly sure it did.
Not transparent PNGs without using some cursed vendor css filter stuff
