Denny:
Congratulations
Glad to have you aboard! I always have used both Netscape and IE, mostly because some sites are better suited to one and not the other.
I refuse to give up my Netscape 4.74 and will never upgrade to 6 or better. having my mail online irritates me and the fact that AOL now owns it irritates me a lot farther. Now with that said, mail program will always be Netscape! because, with Netscape it is sooooo easy to copy my mail file over to my data drive. Makes me happy

With MS Outlook, I tend to lose my email whenever the computer crashes and have to rebuild the whole thing.
IE 6 is very good especially for this board, and 4.74 is not current enough to support a lot of the Java applets that are in use now, and a lot of the functionality is lost for that reason.
Just glad to have you here!
