from?

P.S. I don’t know what people have against IE (this coming from the first person to irrationally rant against Microsoft). It’s free and it does the job. And I direct my anger at popups towards the lowlifes that create them not the browser that allows them.

No ire towards IE, just trying out options. My Netscape was free, too btw.
