Or theres always firefox :D thats better than IE IMO.
So you say Mark, everybody's entitled to their own opinion, I find IE perfectly fine, haven't had any problems in years of use, I shall continue to paste these bulletins, others who use IE have said they appreciate the info, so do you think it's worthwhile me continuing to post these?
