What does any of that have to do with a web browser (ok, I'll give you the last one, but that's easily overcome using the 'copy link location' function, and running an external mail client on the selection buffer) Most of what you complain about is best done by another application. This whole"everything and the kitchen sink" mentality has got to go. Small programs, each specializing in a certain task, doing it well, and doing it efficiently with a way to communicate with each other is the way to truly progress. "Corporate" drones just don't get it, having been fed M$ monolithic application crap for too long. --g -- Greg Spath [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://freefall.homeip.net irc://freefall.homeip.net/%23mtb
