(-: It's faster because its dlls runs on RING0, and if one of them
crash, it will crash all your system... Pretty nice, but it's the
way that M$ works! (-: But you were not the only guy that I know that
uses IE. The question is that I get that script for IE4 only. If you
are using IE5 (that is testified by M$ that is not Java 100% compatible)
so there is a problem on the script. So, I removed it.

I don't want to make money from a hobby. No one pays me for that!
I did that thing because I believe that everyone could think about.
Sorry if I was wrong. Again, I removed it.

Really. You must not change your browser because someone said it
to you. But remember that using IE you are FEEDING the people that
cast a spell on MSX, dooming it around the world, because PC was
a more profitable standard... And they will make you change EVERYTHING
again when they want to.
Why I'll do what some guys are asking on the net if I can do something
that M$ order me? Cool... (-:
I can guarantee for you that Nestape Communicator under OS/2
is at least 50% faster than IE5 on Windows, but you'll not change to
OS/2 with Communicator. Maybe speed is not "THAT" important.

The same people that makes me use .DOC stupid standard,
right? (-:

I agree. If everyone says "Oh, IE5 looks like sh*t" but continues
using it, of course he will not.

I agree. This is a MSX list, not a "Browsers List".

I'll not run it because I like to have a CHOICE. That's it.
And who starts this "nonsense" discussion were you,
and not me. I did not posted a public message with an
off-topic subject on a public list blaming on anyone
because something I dislike. You agree that you
could had drop a private message for me?
Sorry, but I only had put something on MY page. Not
on Phoenix page. As it was so dramatic, I removed it.
That's all. I do not want to discuss here about what is
best or about M$ monopoly. This is not the right place.
You have your right of choice and I have mine.
