Absolutely right - my point is that I like each job to be done by a separate app. If you're using one app to act as browser, email client and newsreader (not to mention HTML editor, address book etc) then it's harder to adopt newer, better single-function apps when they become available. In other words, if a whizzy new browser comes along, you either have to find new clients to do all the other functions that you were doing with your old browser, or carry on using it accepting that you're carrying deadweight. I like Opera a lot, but I wish they'd produce a 'lite' version which was just a browser, the way Mozilla has done with Firebird/Firefox. That said (and talking about deadweight) I have Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Firebird and Firefox installed on this machine, because I use them all to check the web sites I create!
