Despite good advice to the contrary I finally installed IE7.

I like the tab feature. Not too crazy about the phishing protection so I'll
see about disabling it.

Only issue so far was attempting to make an on-line purchase from Boaters
World. All went well until the final button after entering all info
including card numbers, etc. The system kept trying, over and over again,
to complete the transaction. The phishing protection icon was running at
high speed. I finally killed the thing and called BW via LL. They
confirmed the transaction had not taken at their end. A couple of days
after, I made the order via LL.

Thanks, again, for all the helpful advice.
