I'm using the latest netscape 4pr3 and the new IE pr, I've installed
and uninstalled both and didn't have any probs.. I dunno what they're
doing wrong, or if this is even a real mag article..
My advice is ta try it yerself, and see what happens..
I'm running win95OEM2 w/FAT32...No probs at all, other than the
occasional kernel32.dll crash that seems to happen alot after I
install oem2 :)

btw: WTF? Ya spammed this acrossed several newsgroups, I appoligize to
ya all for replyin back, but maybe the original poster of this will
see it this way..
