David Pogue: FEMA website flap no big deal
The New York Times’ David Pogue thinks the buzz over FEMA’s assistance website requiring IE 6 for Windows is "a big overblown." He notes that the site states the agency is working on the problem, and that applicants can always use the 800 number. He neglects to note though, the message that says the number is very busy and the best time to get through is between 2 am and 6 am.
Also, that message went up Friday and hasn’t changed since. Some people are less convinced than Pogue that the matter will be fixed in a timely fashion.
