Well, they simply don't ignore your advice, but the advice in general. I
only use IE, and have no prblems, but then again, I have my security set
where I won't get hit, and i follow PC news events. I do use Firefox0.9,
that is a really good browser. I don't like Netscape, because to do the
simple fucntions init, take a few extra steps. Needless to say, you make
good point though!
