that I thought the folks here might be interested in:

http://www.98lite.net/ieradicator.html

"IEradicator is tiny, script that uses the Windows setup engine to surgically remove Internet Explorer versions 3 through 6.0 from Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium and Windows 2000(sr1).

If you are one of the 70+% for which IE is the browser that floats your boat you can reinstall the version you prefer. If not, then you can bask in the inner glow of knowing you just secured your PC from all known and unknown, past and future, IE security bugs while claiming back 30+MB of closet space. Isn't it nice to have the choice?"

You don't have an evil grin icon, so I'll try to make my own

Using IEradicator is an excellent idea if you use Winders. Not only for the added security, but also to rid yourself of the A Number One cause of BSODs. With IE gone, you'll have far fewer crashes and lock-ups. How that piece of shit ever saw the light of day on any system is beyond me.  :confused:

Buy Opera! It's worth it! It even has it's own integtrated mail client, so you don't need Outlook Express either. But if you don't want to buy it, they have an ad-supported free version. The banner ad is the ONLY difference between the free and paid version.

My one peeve with Opera is that there's no spell checker. But there's a shareware ($5) utility called All Purpose Spell Checker (APSC) that works pretty well with it. Unfortunately, the domain has been stolen and now leads to a porn site, so you have to download it from a mirror.

Here's one with a review: http://www.geocities.com/horsebagger/spellcheck.html

And here's an automatic ftp download:

Mozilla runs perfectly under windows. I used it all the time before I switched to Linux.
