Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I posted a couple of hours ago (filtered) grumbling about a Website that's not working properly: I can't find certain files, and some URLs are being rewritten weirdly. The answer is to use IE; I got this from someone who, like me, prefers Firefox, but we don't control what's going on over there, and the developers apparently feel that, having said that the requirements to use this system are IE 5.5 or higher plus a login, they don't need to support any other browser.

So I have taken a deep breath and downloaded M$'s latest security fix to IE, and will try again in a little while (my system is currently taking a backup, which is an excuse to procrastinate; clearly I don't mind using the Web while taking a backup).
