If I.E. 5.1 is an old version, please tell me
where I can find a updated version to
download. I tried version tracker and
apple software updates, but can't find
anything. Thanks.

If you tried versiontracker and didn't find anything, you weren't trying hard enough. What did you search for?

Thanks so much fieraci. Found it !!!
Pickle.....I was searching for Internet
Explorer. Didn't know what else to call it.
Chris......Using I.E. because that's what
came with my Imac and that's what all my
friends are using. I see you guys talking
about Icab, but I'm afraid to try it. Don't
know where to find it. Don't know if it will
replace I.E. or if I'll have both. Don't know
if it will ask me a bunch of questions
while installing that I don't understand
and therefore don't know how to answer.

Mary,

You'll do no harm in taking an alternate browser out for a test drive. At home, I use iCab with OS 9 and Chimera for X. Chimera, even the nightly build of this "browser in progress" , gives me fewer crashes than IE, and it's much faster. Likewise, iCab zips along in 9. If you really don't like them, just trash them and go back to IE. But it's really quite refreshing to be free of IE (which I do still occassionally use) . Check out macupdate.com or version tracker and search for browsers. They're in there.

Happy computing

You clearly didn't *look* hard enough:

Versiontracker search for "Internet Explorer"
...
