Plank behind the times

On the show he was discussing the problems with the CAO website. People were being advised to use Firefox instead of IE to access the site. "I don't have a clue what Firefox is" says plank.

tbh

par for the course.

59-year-old doesn't know what Firefox is. Hold the front page. :rolleyes:

I heard that, I thought "get with the program" (sic)! Then I though he should be using Opera, then I thought "Christ! That means the CAO website is'nt optimised for IE", which is unusual.

I agree. I think you'd find that IE is still the most used browser amongst boards.ie users. Hardly shocking.

But as mike said, a govt site that only works properly in Firefox? Tres odd. Most of them are designed in Lotus Notes

Ah... that's what that was about.

I missed the beginning and he was reading out messages to do with the conversation on legal highs and in between all the comments was "Firefox is a superior alternative to Internet Explorer"

It just sounded like random spam from a Mozilla zealot.

Presume this is a split from another thread, and hence the confusion, but who is "Plank" ?

It's 'street slang' for Pat Kenny.

Huh?? I had it working in IE the other night when 'no one' could access it. Paid €37 and chose the courses for my brother no problem

But on topic, the plank is a plank tbh

Jesus he is a knob he just compared Ireland v San Marino to Federer the players of the Fitzwilliam tennis club. Where does he get his analogies?

mike65

Kenny is a tennis player at the Fitzwilliam Club maybe?

Mike.

god's toy

Yep I was one of the ones sending him a text politely telling him what it was and how he is a plank for not knowing! Shame he didnt read it out...

I imagine if you conducted a street poll, 90 per cent wouldn't know what Firefox is.

Good auld Plank, always on the ball

Does he believe that Roger Federer would struggle to beat players from Fitzwilliam tennis club, when most professionals can't beat Federer :rolleyes:

Firefox is like internet explorer its just that sometimes different browsers work better with certain websites.
