One word of warning about IE though. It is well known in IT circles
that IE is one of the biggest security holes on your system (win only.)
I know a lot of extremely geeky folks who shudder at the thought of
using that application anywhere other than an intranet.
Firefox seems to be gaining a lot of ground these days and it's safe to
use. Plus you can't beat the tabbed windows.
Of course you have to test web pages in lots of browsers, IE is no
exception. Then there's Safari which breaks in completely different
ways from all other browsers partly because it's identified differently
from your standard mozilla browser. <sigh>
