Browser alternatives

[TwoDogs]

I too use both Netscape and IE5 (see Topic "Netscape 4.7 released") without problem but there are alternatives.
Try
1) Opera - http://www.opera.com/download.html
or
2) Neoplanet - http://www.neoplanet.com/download/install/index.html
Opera is a tiny program which works extremely well on "less powerfull" (read OLD) machines.
Neoplanet uses IE files (you must have IE 3.0 or better installed also)and is very customiseable.
Neither have email functions that are as good as IE or Netscape but if you are looking for fast and simple browsers these will do the trick.
Both will give you faster download of pages.

TwoDogs - If that was the answer, where is the question? Puzzled!

I also use Netscape and IE5, but have Opera installed on (yes) a smaller, older, slower machine. What you didn't mention is that because Opera is much smaller, the code executes faster, so it actually runs faster than the other two bloatware programmes. Also, you can simultaneously browse more than one URL without it opening up another (complete) copy of itself - so it much kinder to memory/disk challenged machines.

Gets my vote - I use it on my travelling sub-notebook.
