Hey,
I'm a sneaky bugger! My mother in law doesn't like change lets say. She thinks that I. E. is the best browser, and nothing EVER goes wrong. No hang ups, slow page loads, and of course no security risks. I. E. is just wonderful.
Well, we all know this isn't true. She has been complaining that her browser freezes, and pages are loading very slow. When she tries to do her homework (She went back to collage at 46, and is about to grad. I say good for her) it's always messes up on her. She has to Ctrl + Alt+ Delete, and close it out. Then sends in her little error report.
Anyway, I've been trying to get her to switch to firefox for ever. I've always been happy with firefox, and I've only had it fail on my like once. Needless to say she just wont let go of the old ways. I've been trying her to switch to linux for a while, but one step at a time.
Last night I had an idea... She doesn't know anything about computers, and I could easily switch if I do a little tweecking. This morning I installed firefox, and set it to the default browser. Then I changed the firefox icon to the I.E., and then I removed all her I. E. shortcuts and replaced them with the fake I. E. firefox shortcuts.
I then searched for a IE them in the firefox theme, and found a ie 7 them.
This morning, she told me how good the new ie was working, and thanks for fixing it.
Mwahahahahaha!
Moose out.
