Just back from a mini-vacation and muddling through tons of email <giggle>
and felt the need to answer this. I guess you could say that I am a Netscape
fan -- I use Netscape 4.75 with Mandrake 7.1 on a DSL (yes I have an
excellent firewall ;-) ) and only when I am doing about 10,000 things at once
does it freeze up on me and not nearly as often as when I used it on Windoze.
I work from home for a dot com company and having a good browser is essential
-- unfortunately I can only use Netscape or IE when accessing them to enter
my info so I am kind of stuck -- Mozilla didn't work with them and I haven't
tried Opera yet but am certainly willing to give it a try. I also use the
Star Office browser which is pretty good too -- not for work <sigh> but for
my browsing needs.
Have a wonderful day :-)
