My work IT is unwilling to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher, what should I do?
If your IT department is not willing to upgrade your Internet Explorer to 7 or higher, ask them if they will download a free copy of Mozilla Firefox (go to: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html) and create a “shortcut” for you computer. You can still use Internet Explorer for everything else, but you can click the Firefox shortcut when you want to access the website. Don’t forget to set that browser to open www.oncologynutrition.org – that will make it even easier. Each time you click the shortcut, it will go to the ON DPG webpage automatically.
