TIA

Thank you, Ed!!

Never used Netscape,at least now I know!!

You're welcome zip. I've just switched to IE, but still use NS for mail. Can't believe I stuck with NS for all these years, having to close it every couple of hours because resources were down to zero. IE is better in every department (sorry Murf ), but I prefer Netscape's email client over Outlook or OE.

Are you using IE6 or IE5.x?

[HKEd]

IE5.01 SP2. I usually give MS a couple of years to iron out the bugs. Figure I'll be up to IE6 in 2003.

HKEd,

Well Netscape Guy here, but I am getting disenchanted with Netscape, can't believe I'm saying this, have experienced lock ups to many times, tried all versions, keep coming back to 4.61. But noticed after about 1/2 hr surfing, locks up, probably JAVA related, as if you disable JAVA the problem seems to go away. Running 4.77 now just loaded it...

Have IE 6 (as you know only for OE6 purposes), used Outlook 97 for years, but no more support and can't find the free upgrade from Outlook 95 to 98 MS had, they took it away. Use Outlook 2000 at work on a NT system, works great. (I'm at work now, obviously bored).

Bottom line: May end up going to IE, trying Opera also. Haven't run NS6 that long to see if it has the locking problem....

I really like Bookmarks rather then Favorites, as its easier to work with, especially when you have close to 1000, also the GO button is a great tool, and the personal tool bar I use always......

Guess I need to learn more bout IE as I'm sure some of these features are there....

HKEd & Murf, I know how you feel. I'm a ns user too, but lately been using IE501sp2 to surf with, and ns4.72 for email. Getting the lockups/low resources trouble finally got to me. Don't have the loyalty after AOL bought them out.
