Just got an email from another list. It seems that the DOJ's slap on the hands (MS) did not do any good. MS announced that as of IE version 6 service pack 1 will no longer get updated for older versions of windows. Meaning that these upgrades *wil not* be able to be installed on 98, ME, 95 and futher back! And that IE will be eventually folded into the Operating System and that IE will cease to exist as a separate product. Duaine tune4u@earthlink.net wrote: >Lost my secondary hard drive this morning.
