He is looking for a UPS that will work with his Mac (currently a desktop 266

I have to agree with those who have posted favourable comments on IE

Dragging the little target symbol to the left of the url in the
address field into the Favourites side-bar tab preserves the page
title.
I've also found IE 5.2 to be significantly improved - The
anti-aliasing looks great to me on most pages I visit and the speed
is definitely improved.

For some reason the sound doesn't automatically play, it opens a new

the quicktime player panel appears and THEN the sound downloads and plays.
Not the ideal situation as you can imagine.
Can someone tell me how to get the sound to play immediately the

I use FormZ, brilliant, but maybe a little expensive. New, cheaper
options are cropping up all the time. I shall chat with contacts and
