Strange my default Doze2k IE displays the 404 page. Although, to be fair, it
may not be default as I've deleted a number of files in the IE favs pages and
also some other 'net crap off of the local drive. Now the question is, does 
IE do this for all sites where you punch in a bad page, or only non-Microsoft
approved pages? Or only website not using IIS? This would be typical M$ 
strategy. Isn't there some law now against intentionally redirecting web-pages
away from the siteowner? Isn't that equivalent to hijacking a person's website?
