The point was that she needs access to her walla.co.il email address
(web based). I actually agree with her reasons not to change it. But
she cannot access it through konquerer, firefox, or opera! I set up
wine and run IE 6 for hee, so she's happy- well, almost.

She still needs to boot into WinXP in order to to her work for the
university. I'll soon get Words running in wine, though, I hope. But
that won't change- her professor requires a stupid size/spacing/font
conbination and won't grade papers that don't meet those requirements.
The best I could offer her on Fedora was to write in OO and copy into
Word, but that is just creating more work, not removing work. And OO
(1.x) doesn't come close to the experience that she's used to in Word.
We'll see how OO 2 does.

Anyway, to get back on topic, if anyone knows of another browser (not
KHTML/opera/mozilla/lynx) then I'd love to hear about it. But I don't
have my hopes up.
