cheap old laptop

[jack at coats.org (Jack Coats)]

try 'winforlin' or 'vmware' and run IE, since compatability with IE is what 
you said you want to test.  Or if you have a friend who runs a Winders 
server, use the Linux Terminal Server Client to login to that windows server 
and run IE there.

Just a couple of thoughts.
