That explains why most web developers I know consider IE6 to be the new NS4. Mr. Carrasco, I realize that Microsoft won't allow you to upgrade your browser to IE7, since you're running an older version of Windows, but you could probably benefit from trying out Opera or Firefox.

I don't like Sprint, crappy customer service. Can't really say that what I use, Cingular, is better as I hardly use it. I maybe use Opera Mini once every few months.
