I have a client who uses IE to look up prices on a supplier's 
website, and enters them into a VB accounting package. If IE freezes, 
the VB data files get corrupted, usually ending up with a lot of html 
code where customer's invoices used to be. Not a good thing.

What's worse is that VB doesn't detect the error, just ignores the html,
and naturally the account balances are screwed up.  Luckily, he uses 
a Euphoria program to print the statements, and Euphoria does see the 
garbage, and reports an error.
