That would be good! We certainly need some competition. I'm ashamed to 
say it, but I still find IE the best. It's the only MS application I use 
- honest! It's fast, reliable and generally works pretty well. iCab 1.7, 
on the other hand, loads quicker, but seems to operate slower and does 
crash, not a lot, but decidedly more than IE 4.5.

I'm looking forward to trying Opera!

Yours sincerely,
