Paint Shop Pro, because my designer uses it.

I found this one:

I also found this:

So you don't have to look it up, here's what it says:

To get Outlook Express, you need to download Internet Explorer. Please
visit the Internet Explorer Web site.

So I did:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
But I'm not sure what I need from here.
Anyone?

As long as he doesn't write me and ask to buy rwl.net. We manage it,
and get lots of requests. The going price (I didn't set it) is
us$200,000. And there's not even a website. Lots of important email,
though <smile>.

I called him. I don't know if we can do business on systems or not but
I'm going to see him next week (car's in the shop today) about getting
a new high-end graphics card for my current DT system so I can look at
the new pretty stuff <smile>.
What brand graphics card should I look at to be fully compatible with
all the new pretty linux stuff <smile>?
Thanks!
Jeff
