I too wanted to change over comnpletely, but in the end continue to have to use IE. iCab is my second choice, the Mozilla release seems to crash a lot on my set-up no matter how much memory it has allocated. As you say Bruce, iCab runs pretty good with lots of memory given to it; for me, the same is true of IE5.1.7 -- it increased it's reliablity significantly when I boosted the amount of memory allocated to it. Occasionally I have run NS7.0 successfully, but don't tend to like its interface. Eventually I can see we're all -- meaning those using legacy hardware and software -- going to be up against a wall, but I figure (hope) it's "many" years down the road...
