Well, I thought I'd answer my own message now that I've done a bit more 
looking.  Indeed the tucows.com IE5 is available, and is about 25 mb.   You 
can get one purportedly WITH the radio from download.com that is 17mb.  As 
noted in an earlier msg the tucows.com version also excludes help files, 
and they weren't available when I wanted them.

BUT if you want the whole thing, all the bells and whistles it appears to 
be 67.5mb, and is available from MS if you can ever get a connection, and 
from ZDNet, and probably other places.   In this case you don't "get what 
you pay for", but you "get what you wait for".  I'll bet there are other 
"versions" out there too, many of them with "co-branding".  I have the 
ZDNet version downloading now, with plenty of basketball to watch and long 
range plans to read.

I know that for library public workstations I don't want to put up any that 
are  branded or otherwise changed.

cheers
