> It wouldn't make a difference to me -- I don't need much, not even graphics -- but I use IE 5.0 now because 1) it's *mucho* faster to create new windows -- my preference ;) -- and 2), it definitely doesn't seem to crash as much as IE 3 or 4 or NS 4.x. Before that, I used Netscape for years.

I actually find that Internet Exploiter crashes a lot *more* often than Netscape. I agree, though, that Macroshaft needs to do something about a *lot* of the problems with it - in addition to the "favourite links" nonsense, native Java support would be nice.

As a GeoCities (now YahGeoHooties!) community leader, all I have to say to this is: wait 'til you see what they're gonna do next. It's still "secret" right now, so I'm not allowed to reveal it, but trust me on this one; if you like the pop-ups as much as I do (gag, choke), then you'll just *looooove* this. >:-P
