Google in the 1960's

While IE8 is not THE latest IE, I am offended that they would cutoff support for something that recent. I didn't even try it with LYNX. I dislike demands that one must always "upgrade", just because something newer EXISTS - I remember (at NASA GSFC) the need to rollback when one such "upgrade" (OS-360 V19?) went awry, and I personally stopped IMMEDIATE "upgrades" with PC-DOS 2. IFF it holds up well, then I will consider jeopardizing a stable system. "If you haven't upgraded since THURSDAY, then you aren't welcome!"
