Understood. I have several machines available as well, one of which I
did the hack install to have both versions of IE available. The others
have only one.

My understanding from when I looked into it is that you can:

1. Run one or the other with full functionality, but not both.
2. Run both with limited functionality.
3. Use two machines, one for each version.
4. Use a dual-boot or virtual machine to get full functionality on a
single machine.

As to why two versions of IE6 are acting differently, beats me, other
than possible sub-version/build differences or add-ons.

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as
they go flying by.
