[X4U] Help. Explorer: never thought I would look for it

[Steve Self]

ActiveX was a Microsoft mistake and should never be used by web  
designers. One has to ignore all standards to use it... Yet laziness  
leads to it's use. And it immediately locks out all mac users. It  
really is poor technology.
