RE: [Sheflug] IE5

["David Bottrill" <nospam [at] ntlworld.com>]

I installed it on my MAC last weekend and was very impressed, the interface
looks good and what's more it works. I use VNC, and until now I have had
Java error attempting to run the VNCVIEWER applet, but with ie5 all is well,
what's more it seems faster, but I have just got a cable modem and most
things seem faste especially downloads ;-)
