Browsers for those IE-only sites

I would urge you STRONGLY not to even think about going that route.

As people on this list here have mentioned, it is the web sites that are 
at fault, not the browsers. The non-IE engines are pretty much all W3C 
compliant, and really, that is more than enough.

We need to discourage web masters from using proprietary Bill Gates code 
in their web sites, otherwise we're saying it's OK for one man to rule 
what browser we use.

This sound right to you?

I didn't think so.

"Proper" web sites work with any browser as long as they stick to the 
accepted W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) guidelines, in fact a lot of 
them now show the W3C logo on the page to say they're compliant.

Regards,
Ed.
