That Double Vision
I am very confused. My gmail account is set to Turkish so I can learn some common words. When I log in with Chrome from my personal laptop, the delete button says “Sil” (imperative for “delete”). When I log in with IE6 from work, it says “Çöp kutusuna gönder” (imperative for “send to rubbish box”).
I think this means Google is blocking IE6 from new versions of gmail (and power to them, I’d rather have features enabled in newer browsers), which would in turn bind the application to older versions of translations.
The other thought would be that it’s Chrome-specific (maybe Gears?), in which case I need to try this with Firefox or IE7 and see what happens.
Can you imagine that XP is as old as it is, and we’re jumping from Win2k (which would be just fine were it not for the lack of embedded compressed folder opening and CD burning) to Vista, and from Office 2000 to Office 2007? XP SP3 is most certainly the best OS work Microsoft has ever produced. Now with a fairly well-reviewed Windows 7 on the wings we’re moving to Vista? It will be an adventure, that’s for sure. Watching all the old archaic Excel spreadsheets and legacy apps start to break won’t be so fun.
Office 2003 is a masterpiece. I still find new hidden features in that thing. In fact, I’m going to use this blissfully slow morning to do a writeup on something even present back to Powerpoint 2000.
Anyway, altogether it’s kind of like buying a Triple Crown winner for its glue-making capacity.
