Lo, in the twilight days of the second year of the second decade of the third millennium did a great darkness descend over the wireless internet connectivity of the people of 276 Ferndale Street in the North-Central lands of Iowa. For many years, the gentlefolk of these lands basked in a wireless network overflowing with speed and ample internet, flowing like a river into their Compaq Presario. Many happy days did the people spend checking Hotmail and reading USAToday.com.But then one gray morning did Internet Explorer 6 no longer load The Google. Refresh was clicked, again and again, but still did Internet Explorer 6 not load The Google. Perhaps The Google was broken, the people thought, but then The Yahoo too did not load. Nor did Hotmail. Nor USAToday.com. The land was thrown into panic. Internet Explorer 6 was minimized then maximized. The Compaq Presario was unplugged then plugged back in. The old mouse was brought out and plugged in beside the new mouse. Still, The Google did not load.
Via Metafilter, where the comments are filling up with the valiant songs of the "computer whisperers," as they shall forevermore be praised.

And lo and behold in my abode, the Internet Explorer was replaced by the Google Chrome and the words and images floweth forth like a sturdy river.
And the owner and his wife were greatly satisfied by the Chrome whereas they relegated the Explorer to be seen but not used. And there was much rejoicing.
