Planetside beta

ThC 129
I was wondering who here has had a chance to play the recently opened PlanetSide beta. I got a chance to fool around with it yesterday and I can say it is AWESOME!!! I had my doubts about it, seeing that I didnt understand how something like a FPS would make it in the MMO world.

IE Download

dave.green1
I just got an odd request, but yet I have to ask. . . . Is there anywhere that I can download a copy of say IE 5. 0 or 5. 5 as a standalone? What I mean is that is there anywhere I can download a copy of IE, burn it onto a CD, and install it on my laptop that doesn't have internet access? Thanks for any help.

packman
