And you were stupid enough to buy it.

I personally know a developer at MS in the UK who has a six figure salary. I
guess Careers guy may not be such a good source of information.

Using average means nothing.

If one person had $1,000,000,000 and 9 others had $10,000 then the
average wealth of the 10 would be $100,001,000 per person. As you can
plainly see since the average is more than 1000 times the wealth of
90% of people, average does nothing in this retrospect.

Go back and read the post again. The average is in the time taken, not the
income received. They all made a million dollars (at the time the article
was printed).

Fact is that only people who LOVE MACS use MACS and call PCs ****. Same as
that, there are people who call IE **** because they love some other
browser.

Fact is that if you have even half a clue, you aren't vulnerable.

Who cares ? Anyone with a clue ensures that their web
site works with IE and I'm not interested in the sites of
fools who deliberately stick to the standards and break IE.

And only stupid ****wit children would do something that stupid.

Point is IE should work with the standard as a minimum and any enhancements
as additional.

Your logic is broken, as usual.
