...I'd rather PAY for a trim and fast browser...

You got me thinking --- Is there a market for trim, fast, software? The trend seems to be bigger and more feature packed: The product with the most 'check marks' on the feature summary published in computer magazines wins! I, for one, would rather have, even pay for, small, tightly coded, blindingly fast, STABLE, software.

I once read that a browser could be created with 10,000 lines of code. If so, providing a 'mini' version would be a trivial exercise for any good programmer.

Is one already available?

Cheers, PW.

Bummer! Thanks for the confirming comments from Gottfried and thecow re: IE5.5. Clearly it is a conspiracy to force us to buy faster and faster processors, and more and more memory,....tells you what we should invest in,....or just stay at university where they get everything for free (gggggggggggggggggg).
