Definitely. I use NT more than anything, and IE is a pleasure next to Netscape. I have played with Mozilla, but as many say, it is slower than Netscape, which is turn is slower than IE. Too bad. I want to start playing with my DV camera through a firewire port, which isn't supported under NT. So I could use a POS like Win98 just for that, or either install Win2k or Linux, which has a kernel patch from <http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/> which I am hopeful to use. If all works out with Linux, one thing I will REALLY miss IE. The search bar was an awesome idea, though AltaVista has completely screwed theirs up since they "upgraded" it. I see that Netscape 6 has a side bar. I hope that I can use AltaVista in there. > I'm hoping that Mozilla saves us.

The big two are free, and some smaller one you have to pay for unless you want ads. Great marketing, guys. -Ken
