[thelist] IE 5.1 for Mac OS 8/9 released

I just picked it up - the launch is incredibly fast, as is the rendering of
pages.  I'd say both items are twice as fast (unscientific benchmark ;-).

Although, I can't get the Flash plugin to work.  Can anyone shed some light
on this?  I've downloaded the plugin, thrown it into the Library:Internet
Plug-ins folder, but it doesn't work.  The requirements were a bit ambiguous
in the readme, but on the Macromedia Web site it clearly states Mac OS
10.0.4, which of course would defeat the purpose of IE 5.1 on OS 8/9...

Thanks!
