All correct updates to Microsoft Internet Explorer can be found
at www.opera.com and www.litepc.com

Boy, if you don't catch flack for that one I'll be amazed....


In answer to the querier re: IE, try:
Try http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone - for a no need to
install version of IE, OR
http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/ for the various versions

OOPS, I was chuckling at thanatoid's posts this evening, he must be in a
nasty mood...

If you need to use WINDOWSUPDATES, use the install versions NOT the
stand-alone..

http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/ for the various versions

Because you used the word "updates" instead of "replacements". Very shoddy
language skills.

Also, even if you *do* replace IE, you still need to keep it updated. It's
an integral part of the OS.

What a load of crap. An engine is an integral part of an
automobile. Windows works *fine* without IE. I know it's
pointless to argue with someone with a mind as closed as yours,
but that DOES happen to be the case.

Anyway, WHY are you posting to me? I thought we reached a
hostile agreement of non-communication a long time ago. I was
QUITE happy with that.

Your ignorance never disappoints. Ask someone who knows what
"trope" means to explain my statement to you.

Because the question was NOT answered somewhere in the post, which would
have then allowed the "but hey, what the frig, you don't want that, you want
to try other ways, look here". And there is the minor matter of NOT
supplying the system updates that might be needed... PRIOR to WinLite or
Lite Windows or some variant.... additionally, there are other issues such
as Certificates, intended use, etc...

thanatoid [or whatever this alter-ego is] sometimes forgets to include
these things when forming responses, but then that's thanatoid, take it or
leave it - he will be what he will be, I suppose... perhaps you weren't here
in his early posting days so you may not understand...
He's kind of like the resident flamer or an old attack dog [and I mean no
slur but have no good way to classify otherwise], his good days are, well,
good whereas, his bad days can be pure hell for those around him or upon
whom he has targeted....
So before I posted, I had already read his other postings for the time
period, and he had pounced upon some poor unsuspecting person seeking help..
