    Am being forced to use IE6! Just had a new desktop delivered to which I've yet to get local admin rights. Yoiks! IE6??? And this is not some small, cash-poor company with 2 code-monkeys and a PFY running IT. No, this is a brand new box downgraded to XP SP3!!! Ho-hum. Another day in paradise... (and yes, this deserves an ellipsis).

      Aren't you, better said the company you work for, at least considering an upgrade to wewen? If not that's really cruel. When I said considerd an upgrade I meant somewhere in the next 6 month max. :)

      All the best, Dan

            I take it you're going to upgrade once you get admin rights?

              The same thing was probably said at one point by 99% of the people currently trying to useing Lotus Notes. Your lesson could've been far more painful. :doh:

                I wonder if it's the same co as mine -0 although I am in Aus We're still on ie6 because one of the systems that are used just plain doesn't work with anything else. So , while only 1% of teh company (my guestimate - prbably too high) uses that application, the rest of us suffer. Stilll, I don't give a flying wazoo cuz they made me redundent.
