No, you may not have a towel, unless it is MS iTowel v5.9848.4.495.499393, which
is included in 900 Mb 'Service Pack 46'. Available as a free download or $20 on
2 CDs.
Well, since my oldest email account is Hotmail (from about a year and a half before
they sold out), I consider MSN Messenger essential, but I'd prefer an MSN Messenger
that did NOTHING but pop up those little boxes when I login to tell me how many new
emails I have, and at the moment I get a new email. I have no use whatsoever for
any other feature since everyone I know uses AIM, Yahoo Mess., or ICQ (so I've accumulated
quite a little collection, hehe).
And yessssss.... IE... amazing how so many features that are essential to making
Windows barely usable are based on having IE in place. And I'm just about ready
to weep since I know the day is coming soon that I'll have to give up Netscape (or
at least sit for an entire day, trying to download 6.0 on my crappy dialup)
