Hi Roger and Gangue, Opera is an excellent vehicle for those with Win machines who don't want to clutter up drives with M$ bloat. It does most (not quite all) that IE and netscrape do in a reasonable size package and certainly works well enough with W95 and ISTR also with 3.1. For e-mail I find Pocomail an excellent e-mailer, again in a reasonable size package, works ok without registration, no disabled features, just nag screens, but I liked it enough to register, just as I did with Arachne. Although I have machines with around 5G plus of HDD, I cannot rid myself of the need to purge the drive of un-wanted stuff and keep only small versions of the programs I use so as to leave as much free space as possible. Comes from years of using DOS on HDD's of around 450Mgs size I suppose! [GRIN :>) ] Regards mel
