Once upon a midnight dreary, Ward Donald Griffiths III had spoken clearly:

$300 (or more) phone bill later...
Oh, and Opera is *not* free. IIRC, they want $35 to register it. IMHO, it's
worth the money -- it's *very* fast, and doesn't seem to crash often. But -
it's not free.

Actually, Netscape still goes wacky with 32 MB RAM, and a 4.3gig HD on a
P200. I think that some of the free browsers (IE, Opera, Mosaic, even
NETTAMER) outperform the overpriced netscrape.
How is Netscape overpriced when it's free? (Admittedly some of the
built-in links lead to adverts). IE is "free"? It is to laugh. It
only "runs" under 1.5 operating systems -- Windows and the new MacOS.
And it _really_ wants you to visit Microsoft and sign up for msn.com,
fuck, it insists on it. It took my wife most of an hour to _not_
sign up for msn, gods help anybody without competent advice, who
might have given in.
