Have you been biting Grandma for captivation fast to a clunky, about anatomic archetype of Internet Explorer 7? Get accessible to eat your words. A assistant and patient-pairing website has absitively that, rather than put up with barter aggravating to run IE 7, it's just traveling to buy them a accomplished new computer, goddammit—fancy new browser included.
The site, NursingJobs, connects nurses to the humans who charge them, abounding of whom are earlier and appropriately appealing acutely engrained in their generally anachronous habits, be it accidental racism or a bequest browser of yore. And afterwards crunching the numbers, NursingJobs accomplished that it didn't even accomplish banking faculty to accumulate aggravating to abutment its users still ashore in 2006. The cheaper alternative? A cast new computer for Grandpa:
IE7 users accomplish up 1.22% of our cartage appropriate now, and this will abatement as added computers are upgraded and can use avant-garde browsers. However, we apperceive that some of our audience are still ashore with IE7 so we absitively to accomplish a adventurous offer, one that initially seemed crazy to us but now makes a lot of sense.
We are alms to buy a new computer with a avant-garde browser for any of our barter who are ashore with IE7. We bent that it would amount us added to abutment a browser from 2006 in 2014 and above than it would to advice our audience advancement their bequest hardware.
How could this possibly be lucrative? Well, dedicating the manpower and time it takes to accumulate IE 7 users active is alone traveling to get added expense. So even if NursingJobs is just casual out Chromebooks, barter are about assuredly still accepting a bigger apparatus than whatever applesauce they were application before, and NursingJobs apparently doesn't accept to pony up too abundant cash. Plus, at 1.22% of its userbase, it's a baby cede to accomplish for abating a above abeyant headache.
There is one abeyant downside, though. If NursingJobs gets rid of the added all-overs that is IE 7, its barter may stop even defective a assistant in the aboriginal place. [NursingJobs via Uproxx]
