Thu, 01 Apr 2010 22:17:55 +0000 http://www.globalnerdy.com/2009/07/30/my-statement-on-ie6/#comment-7221 I owned an orange tabby who just died. He pretty much won the Bil The Cat contest hands down there in his last years. However, he was 20 years old. Good thing I didn't go by his age before upgrading to IE8. Technically, he was so old, I may have been using Mosaic at the time! Cheers, j.k. I owned an orange tabby who just died.

You can barely read his signature because the image is reversed. /sarcasm I like how you credit a line of generic text to Guns ‘N Roses, but give no credit to artist Berkeley Breathed, creator of ‘Bill the Cat.’ You can barely read his signature because the image is reversed. /sarcasm

I mean, he does have Donald Trump's brain in him. Go absurd comic trivia from a time before I could even walk! P.S. Half our company still uses IE 6. :( I've been tempted to hang one or two of the posters from http://hey-it.com/download.html around at work.
