Hi Tess,

That's why I decided to start working for myself :-)

That's interesting to hear as work seems to think we can continue to claim the 
product is supported on ie6 even though IT in their infinite wisdom has forced 
every pc in the building onto ie8.

Work thinks this on the basis of having allowed us to have IEtester. Mmm.

Personally I think it's a great little bit if 'ware as long as you realise it's 
still a beta, is not likely to be stable and occasionally throws unexpected 
results.

I wish I could go back to using browser shots but I'm not sure if they cache 
site shots indefinitely and under what security.

Ah, the joys of working for bigger software houses...

IEtester is ok, but it's using a different engine to what IE6 actually uses 
(apparently). So it can throw up different results where it works in IEtester 6, 
but not IE6.
