[CALUG] Linux choices

[David A. Cafaro]

Whoops in my list of applications that come with the Windows  
"distro", I forgot to mention Internet Explorer.  It was probably a  
subconscious error, but most likely for good reason (anyone one else  
ever had to develop web apps that deal with IE's "standards"??? ).

Cheers,
David

PS. I probably should have had more coffee this morning...
