firefox vs. IE for updates

[Eric R. Benoit]

I wrote this big long explantation then deleted it and summerized my 
explanation to this ...if I were able to more than one person ... a 
system administrator ...a computer technician ...project manager ...and 
a help desk specialist   then maybe just maybe it would work ...but the 
fires are spreading and I must go.

cheers,
eric
