I compared Netscape and Mozilla using G-top last week and they appeared to use close to the same memory on my system - 15000k +. I still use Netscape Communicator for both browsing and email and am happy with it, but it does use resources. You might give Gzilla a look. It's a clean simple GUI browser (no email), but it runs fairly quick and uses about a third of the resources that Netscape or Mozilla does. John -- Powered by the Penguin
