Someone else with a charmed copy of IE! Interesting, it seems copies might
be charmed to differing extent. The other one I've heard about doesn't
crash at all, which is especially astonishing.
A normal copy of IE5 will crash every few hours if used extensively. More
often than merely once a day...
Or maybe it's not that your copy is blessed..maybe yours is normal, that
other one was blessed, and mine is *cursed*?
That would be just my luck.
It probably happened when I put in an all-nighter playing ADOM.

...in linux I assume. In 'doze, Netscrap usually *does* bring down the
whole system if it crashes, and yes it does crash frequently in 'doze.

Yeah... of course... though it's still a Hobson's choice. IE is the lesser
of two evils. We're talking worst and second worst.
