The full version of 5.2 is usable by anybody but the catch is a small ad box that you can move around where you feel it is out of the way.

Am I missing out on anything by still trudging along with 4.78 ? This is a sore point with me right now--Mozilla (browser only) still takes around 28 MB RAM. IE takes a little less. iCab needs work for images, plugins, etc + stability. I'm using Mozilla principally because I can turn off Javascript which cutails popup/unders--IE has no such feature. But Mozilla doesn't yet have a compact & sleek core browser just for browsing. The Phoenix project is using the Gecko source code to produce such a lean browser but only for Linux & Windows--a spur is working on an X port. Basically any serious browser development for Macs is now for X--OS 9.x & lower is getting left behind. His Steveness closed the lid on 9.x development last spring and so it is coming to pass. Classic development is worth its own thread, however. > >I did try Outlook Express and Explorer. A bit too cluttered and >confusing but only from not being familiar with them.
