I see that TwoPynts let his curiosity get the best of him,

what browsers are you all using to surf the web?

I use Netscape 7.2 for both web access and eMail ... I have been using
netscape since I began using the internet in 1994. 

I may stop using it "when you pry my cold dead fingers off the keyboard" ... [grin]

I have used Lookout Distress ... oooooppssss, I meant, Outlook to synchronize
my contacts list in my Palm IIIx --- but that's not currently working since I rebuilt
my desktop PC. 

I reluctantly use Internet Exploiter as needed ... e.g., on this site, I must use IE,
because the recent change to the FCK editor is broken in Netscape ... and the
moderators in the community forum seem to think that's just too bad.  In addition,
since upgrading to Windoze XP Pro (i.e. "since I rebuilt my desktop PC") whenever
I am entering message text and I must switch windows to get and then insert
another link or tidbit of information (anyone who has seen my messages will
recognize my style WRT hyperlinks), the IE window won't allow the switch unless
I choose the other window 3 times ... or I can minimize the IE window.  Such a
pain in the @ss not being able to use Netscape on this site ... grumble, grumble. 

For the moment, I need to continue using Netscape because I have 10 years of
archived eMail accessable from the Netscape 7.2 eMail client. 

I also noted that Tanchelyn wrote,

It's only when you handcode websites that you realise what a piece
of crap Internet Explorer really is.

I'll mention that to my pastor ... maybe we can sing that some Sunday morning.
