Hello,
When I went to work for my current employer they asked me what I
would need. When I thought about I told them to just give me a
monitor. I would bring my computer to work. Duplicating what I had at
home would be just too much work. I much prefer owning my own
computer and doing with it what I want.
So that's me.
I created an intranet application and a co-worker could not get it to
work. When I tried to duplicate the error on her computer I saw that
she was using IE 3.0. I thought that very odd. N3.0 I could
understand but not IE 3.0. It turned out that I had an html syntax
error in the code that stopped IE3.0, but N4.0 and IE4.0 were not
bothered by it. Okay, fixed that. When I expressed my dismay at her
using such an old browser she asked if I would load the better one on
her computer. Oh no..
I am talking about people who USE computers as part of their job. I
take the position that such people should understand their computers
and do such upgrades themselves. I mean I could just see the future
whenever some little problem occurred .....IE 4.0 has created more
than a few problems on my computer but I would not use Windows
without it. It introduces little features that I really like not to
mention improved browser performance. Using IE3.0 is like taking
driving an old clunker and the only excuse is ignorance.
I wonder how other companies handle this. Learning to drive a
computer is much more than just how to turn it on and run a few
programs. If it were my company I would do what someone else
mentioned: give a new employee their computer in a box, software on
diskettes or cd's and then let them put it all together.
