well, it ain't easy to take IE out, but you sure can put Netscape IN and never use IE except in emergencies...(Netscape even makes their browser stand-alone if you wish..which means no email, news, or 'push technology' built in..which saves maybe 17,000,000 bytes of space) I use Netscape 4, Eudora light for mail, and Agent for newsgroups..(one version is free and is called FreeAgent)

[yep, I know...a body at rest tend to remain at rest..*grin*..I am just cheap & curmudgeonly enough to fight the system up to a point)
