I recall it took a long time for the Apple II to die off. Also, I recall a Wired mag article back in 2000 about how there were still people using punch card and paper tape technology and businesses servicing those devices. I think we (I mean those of us who are technology junkies and early adopters) have to bear in mind that the 'rest of them' just want to use the technology to get a job done or a perform a business function and don't see a need to change as in - "It 'works' - I spent good money getting it to work, why do I have to change all because someone's come up with a better widget they want to sell me?" > > > There is no comparison between IE on 9 and IE on X, and indeed IE on X > > is an historic piece of !!
