Hmmm... are you sure it's an April fools joke? It links to other related articles written before and after April 1st.

Heck now I'm confused...

Either way, use Mozilla, it's basically what Netscape 6 should have been, and it's guaranteed to be a 100% spyware free.
Psyjax! I RULEZZZZ!!! HAR HAR HAR

Browser choice is such a heated issue. For me it mainly comes down to features. MSIE is so featureless. Opera is pretty good for features and definately excels erganomically, but Mozilla seems to be the king of functionality. I use Opera because it is so nippy and erganomic.

MxCl, i agree totally. I recommend you try lynx as well, it cuts out all the pictures, so you get an ultra fast web experience, more extreme than opera.
You're still running windows though, eh? not sure how lynx is on windows, i like it for linux, and also for mac, but the mac version ain't as good as the linux version. Maybe it's pants for windows too? well it's small and it's free, try it out, and see how you like it.

and CtrlAltDel123, why doesn't yr mum use mozilla at work instead of those huge netscapes? or is she using all the emailing and diary stuff as well? mozilla just seems much better than netscape to me!

I love lynx, but i just disable images in Arachne for fast surfing, Arachne is faster than Opera and runs on the fastest Operating System "DOS"

I'd like to see a program do that without a programmer that has both kernel code and his own software code. Internet Explorer has already taken over you computer, before you installed it.

It became the default program for HTML files, and now when I type "search stuff" in the toolbar in IE, I doesn't use google anymore, it uses Netscape Search!



  :D  

I can see it in front of me, how netscape search ruins your day because it has taken over the IE search thingy. But, how funny this might be, i agree with you, netscape shouln't just take shit over like IE. But, if you want netscape not to be your default HTML browser, you shoud've said in the netscape setup, or adjust that in you preferences. Look further than your nose is tall.

Druid, I HAVE Kazaa and IT DOES install the BDE player. The atricle is true, and yes, the software does do that. Ignore the date.

Calum, my mom has to use whatever her boss will let her use. My moms boss is VERY computer illiterate.

-=f00bar=-, I by MY choice installed Nutscrape, therefore it should atleast ask me if I want it to take over my PC. With IE I have no choice.
Also, during the setup of Nutscrape, there was no custom install, unless I was to download the full installer, which I learned later.

Yeah, but not for long. I've been itching to try the alternatives for a while. Got my exams to worry about first and then I think I'm going Suse. I love trying out new software, I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to switch OS.

MxCl,
yep, but i would recommend dual booting, unless yr short on disk space, and even then, maybe you'd consider dual booting with maybe a win95 or something. You never know when you'll have problems in yr new OS with something you could usually do in yr old one. This problem rears it's ugly head most often when using proprietary software in laptops though!!!    :mad:  

I found out about a website where you can go and look at an online catalogue of stuff they have downloaded with their broadband connection, then you order what you want, they burn you the CDs, and you send them cost price (usually a couple of quid per CD et c.) They are in England, which suits, and they have all the latest linux distros, and BSD and i think a whole bunch of free applications too. I didn't post the link before because so many of these people won't have

Yeah, I plan on keeping a 98Lite 98SE on there, probably, and mainly so I can play all those DirectX games (I couldn't live without Diablo II  ;) ).

Great! That would be a fantastic link, thanks.

Good luck with the exams!

Cheers. Hopefully they'll go fine, I just don't want a new OS to play with when I should be revising, so I'll treat myself to it after.
