Netscape has a lot of good features - among them loading graphics images faster. It also has some BAD features - like saving temporary files wherever it feels like, sometimes over the FAT - wich is OK if you exit the program correctly, but can TOTALLY destroy your hard drive in the event of a crash. IE has it's advantages too - it loads text and fonts (especially TrueType) much more quickly than Netscape and is, in general, more stable. Unfortunately, it also allows for some REALLY shoddy code to be used, code that will guarantee a crash in other browsers sometimes... I prefer Netscape, but use IE more often because it's easier to load and more stable under Win98...
