If you were serious with your question: Yes, T is indirectly and partly responsible for your (and my..) lack of hair

Not serious. Just trying to be funny. As usual it did not work as well as I hoped.
As to hair, yep, I am bald. As to prostate, the radiation treatments should have killed it and the cancer.

Oh man, I feel you. Got away without radiation/chem. Wishing you all the best!

I first used networks in 1974 (ARPANet) though such primitive, by today's standards, tools such as Telnet. Then, in 1992, Mosaic appeared. By incorporating a GUI, it was a significant improvement over Telnet. In 1995, when I began systems programming on a Dell Alpha with NT 3.51 as its OS, I added Internet Explorer (IE) to my developer toolset.
So, since then, I have used IE in its various reincarnations.
Recently, I was building an animated GIF for a CP article. When I went to test it, I could not get the GIF to animate on IE. I tried on Firefox and the GIF animated. I did some research and found that animated GIFs do not appear to be supported in IE.
I wasted a significant amount of time trying to get IE to properly display the GIF. So I've decided that, in the future, my default browser will be Firefox. Of course this also influences my "upgrade" from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The compatibility tool indicates that Office 2003 is incompatible with Windows 10. Since I hate ribbons, I will not upgrade. So now, two major Microsoft products are causing heartburn. Maybe I should also look into a Unix derivative.
Anyway, for sure bye-bye IE.

I hated ribbons when they first came out... but they do grow on you, specially for certain applications. For example, in Matlab, the ribbons really work nicely. With that said though, I do run both Linux and Windows every day and I usually have different software packages that can do the same thing in case of compatibility issues (example: IE, Chrome, and FF on my Windows machine.... Chrome and FF on my Linux Mint).

In a good way or a bad way? I liked them from the getgo; but remember a coworker of mine saying about 6 mo after we had office 2007 pushed that "they were growing on him... ... ... like a fungus."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
