Good idea. Unfortunately, I don't have IE6 at home, so testing is a
bit slow.

If AOL sends you free coasters in the mail, you can actually extract
IE6(Win) from them...Far superior to an 80-meg download.

Ah, but the issue isn't actually the download. I have IE 5.0 on my
computer, and I like being able to test it on that browser. I'm
unlikely to find IE 5 at a library or at work, whereas IE 6 is pretty
common. So I think the right choice is to keep IE 5, but of course it
makes things a bit difficult when IE 6 is doing a worse job then its
predecessor.

Hi

I haven't tried it myself yet, but there seems to have been a stroke of
genious pulled by some guy - he has worked out how to run multiple versions
of IE on the same PC - take a look at
