internet explorer links bar....
being a netscape user, i'm always surprised when i discover cool features within ie5.0. netscape has what they call a personal toolbar, that allows me to put all of my favorite sites right at the top of my browser window in a 'quick launch' mode.
well, ie5.0 has the same thing (they call it 'links bar') and they take it one step further than netscape.... with links bar i can change the icons associated with the shortcuts. i really think that's neat. and it sure looks better than a bunch of same old same old ie icons sitting there.
chalk one up for ie.
