Again, "Thank you, Microsoft--for making things unnecessarily difficult."

Right? [3] Not needed by folks who run a *proper* (non-M$) operating system. [4] Highly recommended; Internet Exploder and Outbreaks In Excess (especially those versions available for Win98) are prime infection vectors. ...and Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Opera will look & feel the same when you finally switch to a modern, SECURE (non-M$) operating system that doesn't treat you like a thief.
