How are you even able to navigate websites with such an old browser?

I don't use it for navigate! It's just a spleeping one

I'm using some CSS3 features. Gradients, rounded corners and other things. But generally the more stable CSS3 features. I have a plugin in the works, which will require IE10 - it allows you to install plugins by dragging files into a webdialog window.

IE has lost a lot of users - and Microsofts automatic updates are starting to make it's effect as well as they try hard to push users to keep IE up to date. I would only concern myself about anything older than IE9 if I really had a good reason - like if I made a commercial plugin where a significant amount of users has older systems.

Gotcha. Well, I hope you one day can upgrade. Because there really isn't much I can do with IE6. But XP supports older IE versions than IE6, why not just let it update?
It's 11 years old - time to let it die. Even Microsofts wants it gone: http://www.ie6countdown.com/

Thanks for the info.
I will have to rethink about my css support then. I think your philosophy is sound.

And yeah! I had IE8 on my computer. And overnight "Badabing!" it became IE9.
Just like that

Sorry sorry, back to the plugin discussion.

I got crashes when using a font that existed on the Mac.
BUT is the 'font-name' you pass from your tool the exact same name as the MAC reports?
Or is that font perhaps in a fold-folder that Sketchup doesn't look-in, but your script does ?
E.g. some user or xfonts thing ?

I am romantic, attached to the old things!

For 99 % my old one is sufficient!

I don't see any major advantage to install new things ... except for launch your very elabrated plugins

For this if needing i can use other modern computers!

Thomas, this is very cool. I'm using it on my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 with no problems.

So my message box warning is just an annoyance then...

[Dave R]

It doesn't bother me that much.

It may cause crashes later. I haven't used it that much.

[thomthom]

I'll let it be like this for a while and wait for the mayhem.

[Dave R]

Be sure, I'll let you know.

Thomthom, a very appreciative thank you.

Thomas, I played with it a little more on my Mac and the only thing I can find is the close button doesn't do anything. No biggie for me. I'm flexible and can close it with the X button at the top left.

Seems another friendly systems than IE exist for old computers or it's the same?

Close button works for me.

I'll check when I get back on my Mac later this morning.

I'm bummed I can't use it on my PC but I understand why.

XP still.

I'm planning to build a new machine this spring and will move up but so far XP hasn't been a problem for me.

And XP is IE8 only or something?
