if you want to try a browswer alternative to ie, there is mozilla <A HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/" target="_new">firefox</A>. the previous version, firebird .7 . you can download it at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla [...] eases/0.7/ (sorry, i couldnt get a direct link to work). firebird seemed to run a little faster on my machine, and it didnt install anything into the registry.
