   Sorry everyone but I am a web developer and it is my sincere wish that IE6 would just mysteriously disappear from computers around the world :)

   Having to make a website compatible with FF and IE7 and IE8 is enough of a challenge most days. Add IE6 to the mix and it is enough to make you want to tear out your hair :)

   I found this on the SaveIE6 site:

   "SaveIE6.com was put together as an April Fool’s joke by the uptime monitoring service Pingdom. Due to the tremendous interest it has received we have decided to keep this site up and running. Thanks everyone for the great feedback and for enjoying the irony!"

   So yes, it is a joke.

   Google plug-in builds Chrome browser into IE that will fix it,
   Google released an Internet Explorer plug-in designed to let Microsoft's browser use the features and performance of Google's own Chrome browser.

   If you want to continue visiting popular sites like YouTube and Digg, which are just two major websites that have announced their impending end for IE 6 support, you should upgrade to IE 8 by downloading it from http://www.browserforthebetter.com?ocid=ie8_sm_a and donate 16 meals to Feeding America. For every complete download and installation of IE 8 from http://www.browserforthebetter.com?ocid=ie8_sm_a 8 meals are donated, however, if you're upgrading from IE 6 than double the 8 are donated. So spread the word and download!

    If you are a user of IE6, you should get off IE6, not install another add-on said microsoft

    IE8 runs 10 times faster with Google plug-in
