For those who missed the recommendation in June of 2004
by CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team),
the US Government's computer security experts,
where they said STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER:

Now, throughout Europe[1], there is a large and rapidly-growing campaign
to get users to stop using IE6.
In the vanguard is Norway's largest eBay-like site, finn.no.
("FINN" translates as "FIND".)
Google's translation of

To sum it up:
It's a pain in the butt for Web site builders
to support this horrible Horrible HORRIBLE browser
with its AWFUL non-compliance with Web standards
and pretty soon they're not going to make any effort to do that.
Don't be the last to get your FREE 21st-Century Web browser:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
NOTE: This is Firefox 2; Firefox 3 will NOT work under Windows 98.[2]
These suites include email clients[3] (and other stuff) and are FREE as well:

(Firefox's big brother)

[1] ...and if you think American developers don't despise IE, read this:
cache of http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/27/008227#26617861
[2] Well, not without this
cache of http://x86.neostrada.pl/KernelEx
[3] ...which are MUCH more resistant to infection than Outlook Express.
