Let the bells ring out..... I went down into my not often visited basement
(kids live down there and if I don't look, I don't get ticked off .... ) and
lo and behold--there is an old PC lurking in a dark corner that has IE5 on
it!! Whew..... that saves alot of time and effort. I do have VMWare
installed on my PC but for some reason that's totally irrational I hate it.
