This is what has sent me running back into the open arms of Opera 6.

For those who are interested you are no longer tied down to the multiple document interface (MDI) any more and it look prettier.

MD ... you will have to do a "special" on Opera 6 for us all ... I have seen a lot of good reports about it. ;)

For those of you that "allow" XP to automatically D/L critical updates will find that you have the new patch. As for people like me, MS has the IE patch on the Windows Update Site.

Thanks again to Al.
