I have used netscape for as long as I have been online. I started with Communicator 3.72 and have continued from there. I have tried IE and Opera and Neoplanet. The Opera and Neoplanet are nothing more than a skinned over IE. Which is why they are a small download. I currently use Netscape 7.01 and have had no troubles at all. I have a wireless optical mouse and no troubles with that either. The business about the plugins is true. You go to the Netscape SmartUpdate page. Click on what YOU want and install it. For 7.01 you simply go to the Quicktime, Macromedia and Netscape downloads sites and get your plugins. I have never found any reason to use IE and I doubt I ever will. Maybe if you really tried using it and customizing it, instead of using it for a week and saying... "this sucks it isn't IE!" or "Why don't they do it like IE?" or "I like IE's way better.". I removed all the crap from AIM. I don't use the page tabs or any of the other fancy garbage, by the way, IE has plenty of that stuff too. I also installed a Skin to add some color to my browser. This is obviously a "taste" issue. If you have used IE all this time and don't want to spend the time personallizing and tunning up your browser then stay with IE. My 7.01 is set up nice and clean. Why? Because you don't need all the whistles, bells, kurplankers and geegaws that everyone puts on thier standard downloads. Personally, I wouldn't use IE if my life depended on it. But, thats just my opinion.
P.S. Ziroc your site looks great on 7.01 and it loads faster too!
