Yup, Chimera's tops. (+ an IE question)

Anyway, we all know IE is pants - but is anyone else having the proglem where IE arbitrarily fails to display words in the text, which is (kinda) fixably just by clicking on said text to make it appear (which then makes other words spontaneouisly combust?) I guess it's due to font smoothing or something. But whatever, for text-based sites, it's a right pain in the arse! (Hence my starting at the progress meter waiting for my Chimera download...) John.

IE often needs to have its window resized to get it to draw at all. Its also got a nasty text area bug where it doesn't accurately show you the text you're editing. Plus it has a bad habit of resetting itself as the standard default browser behind your back. I only use it on extremely recalcitrant web sites. With Chimera, those are getting fewer and farther between. I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when democracy returns.

The version of IE tha came with 10.1 didn't bother me too much - it was usable in emergencies - but the one with 10.2 was a right mess - kept crashing on my a lot. What a shock and surprise that was :) Have Chimera, am happy. But may download Moz again for the ad-blocking. John. Busy lad.
