No-one on the helpdesk even bothers trying to get IE working- if there are any problems that get traced to the state of even "might be IE" then the user is told to go get a working browser and call back. Funny- every single call we have is either because Windows/IE is being stupid or because they are having problems passing the security check (usually Windows update being stupid). Why doesn't the uni just ban the use of Windows? It would make life so much easier. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
