NETSCAPE vs EXPLORER vs MOZILLA

The really good news is that there IS another way. Completely fed up with pop up ads I switched to Netscape and gave it a try. Aside from pop up elimination and a few inside goodies I found the system cumbersome, hard to use, very hard to set up, with an email system from 1989. Then Blogspot clued me in to Mozilla. Put very simply: everything right about Explorer and everything right about Netscape is in this browser. Their email works like Outlook Express with a goodie or two thrown in and the browser only has the problem in that some websites will not work with it.

If you are pissed at pop ups and MSIE and frustrated by the needless complexities of Netscape, give Mozilla a try. Don't start with any beta versions, natch. ONE PROBLEM and ONE PROBLEM ONLY: you cannot import Favorites from MSIE no matter what Mozilla says. The address book imports your addresses from Outlook Express in one key click.
