Hello Tom, So far, "yes" to all, though I'm not sure about the importing of IE bookmarks. > I heard that Safari loads fast, squashes popup ads, organizes bookmarks > really well, and does other convenient stuff.

I use Safari pretty much as default - on rare occasions, I come across a site that is more supportive of IE (and it's usually a Shockwave issue, rarer still a Java issue), and use that only as backup. On my Classic unit, I've been trying iCab, and like it so far. IE is just s-l-o-w, and I am so-o-o glad to completely ditch Netscape, where consistent use makes my head want to explode - I have saved so much $$ on duct tape alone!
