I am NOT saying IE for Windows = WEB,  I am saying MOST use IE for Windows
to browse the web.  I think we NEED to write for the lowest common

about it, but if 1 person HAS to use program y, then it should be taken
into account.

I know you do, I own a copy of your book, and that was why I was
dissappointed to see your comments.  But, I may have taken your obnoxious
