[Sussex] IE no-more on the Mac

[Iain Stevenson]

The stuff about Apple being better able to develop a web browser for MacOS 
X because it makes the operating system is distinctly ironic and seems to 
bring to mind a court case .....

Of course, us MacLuddites still on OS 9 (apart from Linux)  have been best 
served by Mpzilla for a while - except that nobody's building up to date 
versions for OS 9, only OS X ;-(

Maybe by next year I'll be able to move to Linux on an Intel desktop - I 
just hate the thought of handing cash to Microsoft for a new version of 
Office.
