Hi guys,
OK...I know that IE is a good browser and it can be faster than NS. I've seen it happen on machines with both browsers installed. However my IE4 days left a bad taste.....I was using NS at this time too and what wouldn't load with IE4 would load with NS. Also NS didn't crash like IE4 used to.

So I chose to use NS....blah blah...

I don't know if it the PC's you guys use or the OS...or both...but NS with 95b (4.7, 4.71, 4.72) does not cause ME any major headaches. I guess if you gotta go 98xx then use IE.....simple as that.

95b & NT4 like NS a lot. Again these are my systems and I can only judge based on these. I am not anti-IE per say, it's just that I choose not to use it.....and I personally think that NS is a better browser anyway.

But you guys know this already.....I'm just re-stating the point and trying not to come across as 'I just hate IE'. I know it has it's good points but so does NS. Pound for pound I like NS on my systems.

I will be more open-minded from now on when it comes to IE5X. I do use it from time to time and it does work great. It's fast and slick and it works! Credit where credit is due, I guess

.

Yours
