Handily, you can get an installer that installs IE 3 through 6 in standalone mode: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE There are some issues with them, but it's better than nothing.

In summary it won't install on my computer and I get directed to a webpage with about 5 workarounds to get it to install, all of which appear to involve buggering around with the registry. Well, microsoft can bugger off if they think I'm going to go to that sort of effort to make their software work. I might even format the HD on this laptop and install Linux. Cocks.
