Hi Rich,
I thought Netscape was a forerunner to Mozilla Firefox?

It was. It was the forerunner to just about everything. In fact it uses most of the good parts of mozilla and adds some of it's own.

Just another geeks point of view, but Mozilla have relaeased about 4 new versions of Firefox/Thunderbird etc. in the last couple of months, to fix many of their security vulnerabilities, so it's not really any better than IE - IE is fine if you keep it up to date (and the updates are still free through Windows update, even if your copy of Windows might not be personally ok'd by Mr Gates...)
It's life Jim, but not as we know it...

Hi Krazee, welcome aboard.
You are right about Firefox up dates, but it is still suppose to be more secure than IE.
I am using Opera 8 beta, which is not perfect, but I am happy with it myself :!:
