[ale] IE6 under Wine (or just use Opera)

You might want to listen to Bob.

OPERA RULZ!

I've been running Opera for Linux 6.0 (tp3) for months and found this 
latest version, like its predecessors, extemely fast, smartand stable. 
The 6.0 feature list is very current and comparable with any browser out 
there.

Have also been very pleased running Opera 5.0 final on the OS9.2 Mac 
systems that I need to use at my day job (-: at least for the time 
being:-).  It took about 2 seconds to convince tech literate co-workers 
Mac IE and switch to Opera.

I've only seen a little of Opera running on M$ (since I don't do 
windoze),  but that was enough to confirm that it is very observably 
faster than both Netscape 6.0 and Internet Exploiter in that environment 
as well; possibly as much as 2X over Exploiter.

Depending on the platform the only notable caveate in using Opera is the 
potential for limited plug-in availability with the more non-standard 
and/or proprietary "fluffernetter" like Flush and Shockwaste and 
SchemeWeaver.
