Internet Explorer super-duper-automation abilities

For long years have I been using windows, and IE with it. Even though I am much more secure and comfortable in Firefox, this is only a change that happened in the last several years… and Netscape 4 was a long long time ago.

Well, I found a “new feature” to IE which I never known existed before. When creating a bookmark for a page - I can specify to synchronize it when offline, but the best thing is that I can setup a schedule and be updated by mail each time the page changes. So for example if I want to know when a billboard where appartments for rent are published is updated — I put it up as a bookmark with a check every 10 minutes, and I get the updated page by email each time there is a change. Keeps me on focus in my need to search for an appartment for rent.
