MOZILLA

I've been using Mozilla, off and on, for quite a long time now and really like it although I haven't used it as my default browser. I was using Netscape for that after IE shot craps. When I first started on the net, I used Netscape. It was a philosophical choice because of Microsoft's treatment of Netscape founders. For years I always preferred Netscape over IE. I think Mozilla and Netscape use the same engines.

Then IE got better so I switched to it about a year ago. I still have a problem with IE as it is not optional with windows, and if you run into trouble with it, you almost have to reload your OS.

I like the cute fire eating dragon on Mozilla. The newer version, 1.5a, seems to work just fine. I imported all my bookmarks from my troublesome IE. I'll let Mackenzie experiment with her newer version before I try it.

One thing I do recommend is that you have a browser in addition to IE. I would have really been up a tree had I not had both Mozilla and Netscape ...or one or the other...when IE went down. It crashed completely for no apparent reason and a month or so later, it reappeared, for no apparent reason. A glitch is lurking in my computer some place...a compatibility issue I think. You can't do a whole lot on your computer without a browser and I suppose restoring it would require DOS expertise that I don't have.

That's about all I know about this matter!
