It's not the browser.  I have Internet Exploder on my Apple G4 running OS
X, but it (a) doesn't support ActiveX, and (b) somehow isn't compatible
with Windows .exe files.  I have the G4, an eMac, a FreeBSD server, and at
least a half-dozen Linux boxen of various flavors, but nothing running
Microsoft Windows.

It's not like the Macs don't have good multimedia sort or anything.

``The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of
one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that
oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the
beginning if it is to be stopped at all.'' -- H. L. Mencken
