Yes, VPS is great. I use it with IE 5.5. Quite a while back, I was introduced to the VPS tool/upgrade and found it was a big help, as you say. Then, I decided to upgrade my IE to 6.0. When I did that, the VPS upgrade was non-functional and I was perplexed to find out that I couldn't load in the webaccessdev (or whatever it is). I was told it doesn't work with IE 6.0 when I tried the upgrade. I wonder what the deal with that was? Seems to me that when you upgrade to IE 6.0, you should be able to load the VPS upgrade, but it wouldn't let me.

Recently I had my hard drive go out and so now I have IE 5.5 again and the VPS is funtional upon taking the upgrade pack. I'm afraid if I would upgrade to IE 6.0 again, I would lose the VPS again.

Hmm? (Thinkin' out loud here).....And, besides, I really don't recall what the difference really was between the IE 5.5 and 6.0 anyway. Is there some stuff with IE 6.0 you can do that I can't with IE 5.5???.......

Well, IE 6 has greater control over cookies (handling is more flexible). Privacy (blocking objectionable sites) is also more fine-tuned.

The Image Toolbar is also a new feature in IE 6. It offers quick save/email/print functions of web images. It also resizes large images to fit (and you can re-expand them). See below.

Now if IE 6 needs to close for an error, it displays a special screen instead of the old default oops box.

Not a real improvement unless sent-in faults are being corrected. They need to quit putting out buggy software in the first place.

That's all the new features in IE 6 I could find. Might be some minor appearance changes, but whoopee to that.
