The thing about beta software

…is that it’s beta software.

After installing IE7 yesterday, no problem, later last night I go to check my Yahoo mail and find out it’s my turn to get into the beta version of the new mail client, supposedly all buzzword-compliant and slick.

Okay guys — either this doesn’t work in Firefox or I need to close browser, clear cache, restart machinery, and crank up the buzzword-compliance dial on the side of my laptop.

And of course, it doesn’t work in the IE7 beta.

Maybe it’s time to start using that Gmail address…
