hehe I know what you mean :-) > >I need opinions on which browser to use-Netscape or I.E. and >which version. (This is not meant to start a flame war over >Microsoft) I just want to the most efficient browser. Well I have always used NS, mostly because it has integrated mail s/w, but after I tried IE 5.0 I noticed that I liked the performance of this browser better. Also a lot of sites I visited didn't work with NS, but do with IE so that's why I started using it even more. At the moment I use IE 5.1.4 for browsing. And although I don't like Microsnot and it's monopoly I still prefer IE over NS. I also tried iCab and the beta's of Opera, and I did like Opera at that point. But when Opera released it's latest official version I was disappointed by the lagginess of it. >I have used both NS and I.E. on other machines.

I still use that for all my regular mail and maillists (except for now when I use Mail Siphon for a brief moment). >What should I be using. > >here is my set-up: >iMac Dv 400Mhz running OS 9.1. 128 Mb ram installed and virtual >mem set to 129. >In brief, what are people using.
