Yolanda, Opera. Opera is very good for laptop usage. I have tons of
browsers on my desktop, but on my laptop I've settled on Opera. IT
requires Win32s but It's system requirements otherwise are lower than
the newer versions of Netscape and Explorer.
There are some old browsers like Cello floating around, but they
won't shows a lot of newer HTML goodies. Like tables. Opera will.
Now, if you must have Netscape, use 2.0 at the latest. Or it
will get _very_ slow. And Explorer 3.0 at the latest I would suggest.
Download Opera and give it a go. needing Win32s is the only
downside I can see. one big reason I prefer Opera on my laptop, is
you can open wultiple windows to multiple sites from inside one copy
of Opera. With Netscape, you'd have to open a new copy of netscape,
and there goes your system resources.
Another thing about Opera and laptops. Opera has this little
drop down menu with 805,90%,100%,110%, etc. on it. So if you have it
on 100%, you see the web apge at it's normal size. But my laptop
screen's resolution is only 640x480, so when I come to a site
designed for larger screens, it hangs off the side of the window out
of my view. In Opera, I just set the size to 90%, or even 80%, and I
can see it all.
