I didn't realise that 11% of us used IE5. Interesting stats!

It's as if Ford decided that since so many people who buy (pick-up) trucks also buy a camper shell to cover the truck bed, they'd just weld one onto every truck they built, and say it was a "no-cost extra". A lot of people wouldn't worry about it, since that's how they wanted their truck to begin with. Others would complain that the shell limited their ability to carry outsized cargo (occupying space they'd rather use otherwise.)
Leer company (a camper shell company) might decide that's unfair competition, and sue. If someone wanted a Leer camper shell, they would either have to completely disassemble the truck to get the shell off or take a torch to the welds. Another option would be to just forget it and use the one that came with the truck.
A lot of us use IE because our computer came with it and we don't want to spend more money to use something else. You can't really uninstall IE without screwing something up, so the heck with it. I don't care.

With further thought, I have determined that when rendering pages, IE literally feels like it will shatter my monitor. Ugh.
And you don't need to uninstall IE to run Netscape.
Anyway, Baloo, when you do decide to abandon Windows and the evils it represents, get a Mac.

I use Netscape as my primary browser because, unlike IE, it will NOT accept sub-standard HTML, such as incomplete tables, etc. Right now, IE5 has the better rendering engine, but I'm anxiously awaiting a stable build of the new Netscape engine.........

Outlook Express is a really good plus to IE4 and IE5 too.

I've been using it for over 2 hours, now and it hasn't noticeably "glitched" once (knock on wood! Good thing my desk is made of oak!)

I really hope this fixes the one bug I have with IE!
