I figure I'm as big a klutz as anyone, but I've never crashed linux (three
machines, two distros) by browsing, or anything else. Current up-time
about 5 months.
OTOH, I have to kill Netscape about once per week when it freezes after
pretty solid use. I can't say I love it. Mozilla on my Macintosh is
perfectly stable, which neither IE or Netscape are. Personally, I think
they are all bloated to hell. Where else do you get one program performing
about 4 entirely seperate functions. Personally I think the browser
designers might have done better to have spawned entirely seperate
programs for mail, ftp, news, whatever instead of trying to be all things
to all men. But then what would I know?

Afterthought: were browsers designed? or did they just evolve.. rather
like building Los Angeles on the San Andreas Fault? ;-)
