I've used OE for years with no problems. I've learned to live with the jabs the
"experts" always poke at MS, OE, IE, Windows, etc. without feeling too much
guilt for not abandoning these KMarts for some Neiman-Marcus state of the art
browser & server doodad options. I'm sure these options do work fine, maybe
even much better than the standard MS stuff. But unless I experience a total MS
meltdown, I guess I'll keep collecting circ Lincolns while others go for the
platinum bullion. Good luck with Mozilla.
