matter what.   But as long as Mom can do her email she
will be happy.<<

Personally, I'd stay away from IE 4.  There are many web pages that'll
lock it up.

On a IIsi, I'd avoid 7.6.1--go for 7.5.5--especially with only 17 MB
ram.

As for e-mail and some light browsing, I'd go for Netscape 3.04 Gold. 
No memory leaks, does e-mail quickly and simply, and still can get to
many sites.

I set my 76 year old MIL up with the above, and she's happy as a clam.
