It looks like I've finally decided to use firebird over IE. Quite why it's taken me so long, I'm not sure. I've had it (and/or pheonix) on my machine for at least half a year if not longer, and I've tested my sites in it...

I told him 4 times. He went home without writing the cheques... even better, he went home without his cheque book. So Jason had to post him some cheques, which he then filled out.
