I may end up agreeing with your preliminary take on Opera, Zeuspaul. I've been trying it for a couple of hours today, and really like it so far. It bills itself as the best browser for getting serious work done, and this may be accurate. I've been using a proxy server called Gotit for the last several months as a way of compensating for my dialup modem's speed (it worked pretty well, BTW), but Opera doesn't seem to work too well with it (lots of crashes.) But then again, this may have caused some of the NS crashes too. Now, without the proxy enabled, Opera seems more stable so far--and loading up many windows at once seems both more convenient and less taxing on the system. With my DSL line getting activated next week, I no longer have much need for gotit. I think I'll spring to register it if my present good luck continues. I'll keep the thread posted.

I am not sure what you are using for e-mail with Explorer, but using either Outlook Express or Outlook 98, I can retrieve e-mail from any mail server on any different system. For example I dialup at home to my local ISP, retrieve e-mail from them, from my business e-mail server, from netcom e-mail server, and from another mail server. I have checked the box "leave mail on server for X days" so if I also want all messages at home or work or vice versa, they are there. For me, Outlook 98 is pretty complete. You specify additional mail accounts, put in the incoming / outgoing ip server addresses, name & password and that's it. Dan
