	Well, if that is true, I've yet to figure out how spyware and adware  
continue to appear on peoples' computers after browsing with IE6. It  
stops when I move those same people over to Firefox. IE7 _is_ better.  
I admitted the possibility to Chris, but said I needed it to have a  
solid track record for awhile before I conceded anything.

	IE7 isn't bad. It looks and acts a lot more like Safari. I like  
Safari, ergo...

	An apt phrase.
