[X4U] Tiger, Internet Explorer, and Wireless access in Airports

[Robert Tillyard]

Is the fact that IE no longer ships in Tiger an big issue? Can you  
not just got to www.microsoft.com/mac/ and download it again?

I did an upgrade install and IE still appears to work although I  
never use it so who knows.

Regards, Rob.
