I needed to get to FASFA's website (that is some student financial aid website that is quite common to use). Now, I know I've been here before, but I tried the following browsers and ended up with an error (see below).
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
Safari 2.0.1
Internet Explorer 5.2.3
Camino 0.8.3
Now. I did not try Netscrape or Mozilla itself, but at this point I have no desire to. I actually had to turn on my windows machine after nearly 6 months of being in a deep deep state of shutdown. I had to locate a powercord and my KVM. It was sad really. I am sad. How is it that I can't get to this website?
Let's not argue that FASFA probably pays some yahoo a ton of cash to keep this site up 100% of the time and that person should know that while the mac to windows use ratio is small and not even worth talking about in their windows-based world, it is still important that a website can be access through all platforms...or at least mac and windows right?
Anyway, here is the error:
