But will it run internet exploiter? everything UPS related seems highly dependant on internet exploiter Mozilla , Netscape or opera WILL NOT work with it. As software goes it UPS world ship is about as screwed up as anything I have ever seen!!! But it does take all the hassle out of shipping stuff to Canada from the US, you would not believe the insane BS paperwork it takes without UPS world ship to do something that used to be so simple. It used to be easy before NAFTA. Marc
