Like Donna says, it’s the little things that get to you.
I just tried to upgrade from IE 5.0 to 6.0 Worked like a dream. Except somewhere in the process it sort of changed language… My 5.0 copy has been running in English, which is really what I prefer (old habits die hard), and I must have said “yes” or “no” to the wrong thing somewhere in the installation process, as suddenly, almost everything was in Norwegian. Except my Google toolbar, obviously, and (unfathomably) a few other things, like the Cancel button on Internett settings. And it really upset me. Not as in “annoyed” or “irritated”, but as in “on the verge of tears”. Highly embarrasing.
It upset me even more when I couldn’t figure out how to change it.
So I uninstalled.
In a couple of days when I’m feeling a little less fragile, I’ll try again, and watch out for that pesky option.
Music in my head: “I’m a-gonna wrap myself in paper, I’m a-gonna dab myself with glue, climb up into my mailbox, I’m a-gonna mail myself to you…” (and so on, Pete Seeger, I believe)
