Attention Firefox Devotees:
If you want to watch tonight’s contemporary evening sale on “Christie’s Live” tonight and your default browser is the latest version of Firefox, dial this number immediately: 877-641-7704. The very helpful tech support agent, David, or one of his colleagues, will walk you through a complicated procedure (which you could never have figured out by yourself) to get into the virtual saleroom through Internet Explorer (assuming you also have that on your computer).
It’s not as simple as just going to IE and following the prompts, because the software you download will still want to go through your default browser, Firefox. You will need to go through some other arcane machinations to get your screenside seats.
Now I don’t feel quite as idiotic as I did last Wednesday, when all my (meager) technological skills failed me. It’s the technology, stupid! (or the stupid technology)
