Was IE always available for UNIX and Solaris? Yes. Since version 3 I believe, but definitely with version 4. It's even been talked about at the trial. They needed the multiple-system approach to respond to businesses that said they'd only standardize on a browser that would run on all their machines. Netscape has always released their browser for multiple systems. IE is also available on the Mac, of course, where it is the default browser on new systems (although Netscape is included in a folder). They released theirs a few months early and call it 4.5, but it contains most of the non-Win-specific stuff in 5.

t2k and all, My friends, I am primarily a long term investor who likes to play MSFT options once or twice a year. The rest of the year I keep quiet and continuously drop $$ into my long term portfolio, most of which has the four letters MSFT attached. I have owned the stock for over six years and have always BOUGHT MSFT stock. I HAVE NEVER SOLD ONE SHARE OF MSFT since I picked up my first share. Buy MSFT stock when you have the money and don't worry too much about the timing for as I look back, timing of the purchases was completely irrelevant. Tomorrow is going to be wild. Teflon
