Last week IE7 stopped working correctly on this computer.
It now crashes on many, many pages, and exits with a bug report.
I've done lots of things trying to get it working again,
removed all plug-ins, removed services, even uninstalled it
and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to fix it.

I did come across this article about developers unhappy with IE7.

At least there's Firefox.

  IMO it would be much better if it was advertised like: "Has the same
user interface so you don't have to re-learn using the program, but
this new version is much faster, lighter and has tons of useful new
features."

No, THIS improbable:

Either way, that's still pretty cold for Hell.

Acording to some legends, there are, at least, some parts of hells that are 
freezing. Apparently, some parts are raging furnaces, others are froosen 
wastelands, while others are bogs and swamps drenched by constant caustic, or 
acidic, rains... They say that there are 9 hells, each different, each one worst 
than the preceding ones.
Whatever the case, none of those hellish regions are places where you'd want to 
pass your vacations... much less eternity.
