Well, it depends how you look at it. If you are just a web visitor, then anything fancy can do (for instance, I am very fond of design thingies; I own a Hoojum PC - cooooooool). If you are a webdeveloper and needs to reach a large target audience, then the choice is easy: develop for IE and Netscape. Personally, Netscape runs very smooth; I didn't install the messenger, composer and all other stuff. It starts up quickly (I am using NS 7.1) And personally I don't agree with the fact that IE or Netscape are 'mediocre' browsers: they support standards. If you are using Windows XP, then the forthcoming SP2 will install a popup blocker for Internet Explorer. Regarding the esthetics: I agree that OS X, together with Safari (I haven't used Camino) is superior. But as I said, all depends from which angle you look at it. /Kurt
