Microsoft is a clogged toilet.

Luckily we have Netscape Communicator to use instead - a program with
absolutely no bugs or security issues of its own.

I personally prefer Opera over them both, to be honest.  It's just not

Hi Mike, Will this have an effect on UTK's PC's? They use IE5, I believe. Adam (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
