     As a student who just spent all his remaining money on
Bedouin (and beer), it's gotta be _free_ :)  (And since I'm
at an academic institution, my copy of Netscape is even legally
free :)

     Do the Mac versions do that as well?  I thought only Windoze
users suffered from that?  Mind you, I've never seen any reason
to download IE since I've already _got_ a browser.

     On another note, I can't say the idea of using a web browser
for email much appeals.  "Do-it-all" software just feels wrong.
I don't like big guitar multi-effects units either :)  I prefer
a host of little effects pedals.  More flexible :)

Cheers,
Carl
