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>
