Hi, Dan, and all.  I have been using IE 8 for a few weeks now with no 
problems.  The only weird thing that I have noticed is that when using the 
JAWS keystroke INSERT+A to grab the address in the Location field of the 
browser, nothing is reported.  No big deal as there are multiple alternative 
ways to obtain this info.  Otherwise, I have experienced no issues.

I'll resist the temptation to laud its improvements over IE 7 here as there 
are quite a few truly remarkable improvements that went into this browser. 
Suffice it to say that I now have a viable companion to Firefox if desired.

Kind regards,
Jeff
