Reply #17: I use IE 8 because I HAVE to for university [View All]

I can't even upgrade because the stupid online homework programs don't support IE 9 yet. Our online blackboard also required IE 8. So I'm stuck. I wonder if they surveyed any college/university students that are required to use IE for online homework and/or online courses. I'm guessing those are decently smart people.

Although I do admit I also use Safari, since #%%*@ IE for some reason had blocked out facebook for me, even after adding it to my safe list. I simply can't sign in to facebook with IE.

BTW, I started out with Netscape (back in the day) then IE and dabbled in chrome and firefox. I find IE just more user friendly, my issues with facebook notwithstanding.
