[access-uk] Re: Need a link please

Well, some say that there are problems with certain pages ... but I certainly 
ffind the page layout not so clear as with IE.

It's true, I haven't used it a great deal but IE does all I want it to do and I 
didn't really want to change, so I suppose that's my preference.
