Ok we've established that we don't want to use IE. I've got problems with
that. I don't use IE very often now but netscape has issues. It's
driving me crazy. It's a resource hog (at least on Solaris) and it
crashes (all the time) Does anybody know of a good web browser that
doesn't crash all the time? I'm to the point that if MS came up with a
workable release of IE for Solaris I would use it. I just want something
that works.
thx
