I have to agree about Opera, free software or not. In fact, Opera has been my main browser now for at least a month. If only it would actually import my netscape bookmarks like it says it will (I don't think it understands "users"). It likely imports them just fine under Windows though. I can't say it's *ever* crashed on me. The one problem is that there is *no* Java available for it. Regards Hall
