Hi, folks- For those of you with PPC Macs, definately try Opera. They recently released an Alpha version, and it's WONDERFUL! Like iCab, it's small and quick. Let's emphasize QUICK, here! Not all features are functional in Opera, yet, but it's still an excellent browser. -And I've yet to have it crash. Opera is apparently intent on being a serious alternative, and has been getting real attention in the Windoze market. I know a guy who is the network/computer administrator for his company, and he now uses Opera exclusively. Try it... I'm really impressed, and it will only get better. http://www.opera.com -Dave > From: "Jose A.
