I'm all for shatrp saws, BUT I've also found that changing saws in mid 
stream can be a very unwise thing to do. Quite apart from any learning 
curves, things have a habit of breaking in the midst of crisis, no 
matter how well behaved people swear they have been for them. But it 
does seem past time to try Firefox.

That I didn't know - not how things usually work when one of the 
products is made by our friend Bill.

Sounds good.
I'm sold.
Soon ...

The problem that started all this may be due to an IE persistent 
connection problem that occurs with some sites. Open multiple sessions 
and they remain so for many hours apparently, no matter what you do. 
sounds unlikely, but ... . A university site described this problem. 
They suggested that the best fix was to use firefox ;-)
