Well, I'm Gary, not Michel! ;-)
Michel Fournier, the master of this domain (please, no Seinfeld jokes!), recently added some javascript to this site and apparently it doesn't work with some versions of IE under Windows. What a surprise, eh? Also, I had it backwards earlier. The chat button works on my NT4 machine, but NOT my Win98 machine. I have the same version of IE as you do. Don't you just love the browser wars?
"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
