    Hey tepo --

    If ya want a new experience in speed, download Opera 5.02 at www.opera.com

    It'll make I.E. look slow too!

    Harder

    I actually tried Oper 5, but I really disn't like the way it handles windows, I like the IE-way. The way netscape does it wasn't so bad either. (But SLOOOOOOOOW)

    But hey, if things are great, there's nothing to improve, right ?

    Tepo

    I would ditch the 6.0 Netscape version and go to the 4.x version. Much better.

    I tried 6.01 a few weeks ago. What a dog! I quickly went back to 4.74

    Dont know what O.S. you guys are running it on, but I'm running Netscape 6.01 on Mandrake Linux 8, and it's great. No slower than 4.77 or any other browser I've tried.
