[G4] A joke

[Jay E. Krauss, Jr.]

While Safari does allow the choice to "disguise" as Internet 
Explorer, at least the User Agent menu option states it is as "Mac 
MSIE 5.22". If the financial program will only accept IE 5.5, then 
Safari's option may not work. Not knowing what financial program is 
being addressed, this may or may not be a problem. Opera does not 
specify which IE version is in "disguise", so may, or may not, be a 
better option.
