[nabs-l] watch out! it's another ridiculous update from Google

Fri May 24 12:03:21 UTC 2013

I use gmail to but I only log in to my account to clean out my spam folder.
I also saw that message that the version of internet explorer I am using
will no longer be supported.
I have also been using internet explorer for so long that I don't want to
use another browser either.
I tried firefox with no success.
I use Microsoft office outlook for my email.
Rania,

Hi everyone,

I use gmail online exclusively, and I looked for the message.  I found
it near the top of my page.  I clicked on the link to find a more
updated browser.  It told me that I was running IE 10.  Then it gave
me choices including firefox, Chrome, and some other things.  Then I
kept reading, and it thanked me for keeping my browser up-to-date and
explained a little more about browsers in general.

I think all google wants is to make sure people have the latest
browser, whatever that may be.  I am not a computer genius though, so
I could have missed something.  Please let me know if I am wrong
because then I'll need to download firefox or stop using the computer
altogether...  I've used webmail for so long that I refuse to switch
to an email program at this point.  :)
