[TCLUG] Need IE to view msn.com?

[Joseph Key]

I can see it on Slackware 8 using Netscape 4.77. I can not see it using
NetBSD 1.5 using Mozilla 0.93
on a side note I look first on IE 5.5 and the letters of the words are so
small it is hard to read.  My screen size is 1024X768X32
using Netscape I can read the words well.
