Well, I finally did it. Window-eyes v5.5 to 7.1! Lol, think I took it a long as I could.

I've been noticing messages, that some websites are going to stop supporting IE6. It is time for me to leap forward!

I can update to the latest messenger if I want to.

Who knows what else I can update to now. *lol*

What do you all recommend? Skip right past IE7 onto IE8?

Any window-eyes 7.1 users out there? Scripts are going to be a whole new world for me!

just drop IE altogether, and use firefox.

Woah really? Is there a big learning curve? I have only used IE.

Could you give me a little intro on firefox?

I use fire fox I did not see much of a learning curve. Sure some of the short cut keys are different but most of it is the same.

oh dear god its so unsafe to still be running IE 6, i don't know why people still do, let alone run IE as their main browser. Firefox usues alot of the default IE commands as IE. and for the few you can't figure out the help can well be helpful.
