IE is good, but IE 5 tends to be very unstable. 4.5 is better in my
opinion, even though it's not as recent. I recently got rid of Mac OS 8.1 on
my PM 7300/180 because the previous owner didn't send me the 8.1 cd's.
(Therefore makeing me the proud owner of an illegal OS) Now I'm using good
'ol 7.5.5, and I can only use IE 3, but I am using iCab 2.9, which rocks the
party. (Except in Javascript, and I'm having troubles getting it to use the
old MRJ.)
Cheers,
ES
