Sure, I see all that.  I still think it would have been nice to offer
the old browser during a transition period.  So far, three out of
three installs I've done did *not* work out of the box, and it
wouldn't have been obvious to a newbie at all how to fix the problem.
(Maybe I'm just too old for this new-age web browser setup stuff, and
the kids figure all of this out in no time at all.)

Speaking of problems: I haven't been able to install the additional
documentation .plts from the Help Desk under MacOS X at all: Internet
Explorer just sits there, waiting for something to show up in the
installation log, and nothing ever shows up.
