Do you have a version of IE that does not take 70Meg?
I ONLY have 50Meg available on my HD on that PC...
I have an old laptop that I keep an old version of Netscape on as it fits...
very little extra HD space....
On my main PC, I run both IE and Netscape and run the old COTW on Netscape
and iWindHog on IE. Workable, but not a way to win the hearts of users.
