i'm using ie5.5 at this moment. it cooperates better with win2000pro (gotta be a microsoft thing).

i also have one netscape window open, and frequently grab netscape bookmarks. ie sucks so bad when it comes to finding favorites fast, unless i'm missing something. with netscape, i can open bookmarks (ctrl-B) and either do a fast 'find' or use the scroll bar to blast down the list of bookmarks. ie, otoh, makes me scroll at a snail's pace using down and up arrows, and offers no find function. and man, do i ever hate ie's alphabetizing method of filing. netscape puts all recent additions at the end, and then you can file into folders from there. what the heck does the alphabet have to do with saving urls? it just makes no sense to me.

long story endless, i like ie5.5 a lot. it is great to browse with. in many instances i think it is faster than netscape. but for the reasons i've noted (bookmarks and email), i can't go all the way with ie.

so i'm a two browser man until i figure out something better.
