Quick Tech Question
Bill reports that he’s been having some difficulty loading the Planned Obsolescence front page, and this reminded me: back during our European vacation, I had some intermittent difficulty as well. On my hotel’s Wintel machine, running some recent version of IE, I periodically got the front page loaded only as far down as the right-hand column extends (and thus the older entries in the left-hand column were cut off). It didn’t happen all the time.
Anybody out there having this trouble? Anybody know whether there’s anything I can do about it?

If you hit F11 twice on IE on a wintel machine, the problem goes away. I’ve seen this on a few other blogs, as well, but I don’t know what causes it.

That’s just weird. But thanks—I’d never in a million years have figured that out.
