IE2, the browser that comes with NT4, won't even work on Microsoft's
own site.

Hee hee.  That makes sense!  MSIE2 didn't have as many security holes as the
later versions.  (GD&R :)

(...) Neither. To get IE, you had to buy the Plus! pack. (MS's bang, not mine.) (25 years ago, 20-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
