Who is the 'fastest browser on the web"? > Donald McCaig Though no fan of Bill Gates, I've had to admit the IE 4/4.5/5 is probably the best on my 2300. Netscape Communicator is respectable too, if you have the memory. I've found that IE is a little faster overall, but unstablish. Netscape can take forever to load initially, but runs pretty well once loaded with a somewhat bigger memory foorprint than IE. I've taken to using Communicator 4.08 on my 280c and 4.7 on my 2300, though I don't use either of them online very much. I do keep IE 5 on my 2300 just in case I run across a site that needs it. Of course, don't overlook Netscape Navigator 3 Gold, it's a bit old but still works great for general browsing. Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
