I prefer Microsoft IE5. The most obvious reason is that the full screen
view increases the size of the browser much more than Netscape. I have
also tested it with Fred Langa's BrowserTune and it always passes
beautifully. http://www.browsertune.com/bt2kdemo/ A few years ago Netscape
had 85% of the users, now IE has 75%. Since Netscape was purchased by AOL,
I feel that Netscape will no longer be supported to compete with
Microsoft's IE. I use Microsoft Office 97 which integrates well with IE5.
I prefer and use many Microsoft application software; there is a lot to be
said about integration and uniformity. My son preferred Netscape, but as
soon as he moved out I removed Netscape from my home computer. At work I
have both only because of the default profile setup by our Information
Systems Department. However, I only use Netscape for the intra-company
handbook. I do everything else with IE.
I can only speak for GetRight as I have never used Gozilla. I have
recommended it to my friends as a means of survival in the dial-up download
world. Nothing is worse than being disconnected with minutes to go when
downloading a huge file! I no longer use it as I have a cable modem and
don't ever have to worry about being disconnected and the download speed is
so fast... http://www.getright.com
I hope this helps.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Browsers and Download managers
I was wondering if a few people could give me an idea what browser is
better/faster maybe out of Netscape Communicator or IE5? or if it's more
just personal preference?
along with that, i was wondering which download manager might be better out
of Getright and Gozilla? thanks for all the help...
