I am a 'guest' because I am accessing Mudcat using a different browser...in this case "OffByOne"
I also use K-Meleon and Opera (maybe the best choice right now)
I am s*l*o*w*l*y getting away from Netscape, though I have 'most' of my bookmarks there....Netscape 4.75, 4.78, and even 4.79 are available, and NOT burdened by AOL changes and will do 98% of everything you want.
IE 5 &6 are TRULY rigged and desigend by Microsoft to force you/us into smaller & smaller boxes so that no one can imagine using anything else, and some of these 'alternative' browsers are being built on the theory that, without competition, Bill Gates will run a MUCH larger part of your life than you will like.
I have *3* browsers open right now!!, and I have not opened IE5 in months....
All you can do is try them...experiment....until you find the best solution..(I expect it will be Opera for me, but 'your mileage may differ')
