I used to like Netscape a lot better than MS Internet Explorer, but AOL
bought Netscape and then let it die, and the old 4.7x versions are
increasingly incompatable with new websites. (There is a Netscape version
4.80, but I haven't tried it) Now, I use MSIE for a browser, and I use
Thunderbird (Mozilla's news and mail client without the browser) for mail
and news. It works pretty well.
