Hi

This depends to a degree on personal preference...however each broswer has
its pro's and con's.

**IE**
Con's: Slow with large pages of pic thumbnails, Not too stable and can crash
OS
Pro's: Faster with large FTP sites, Renders Pictures Better, Renders Text
Better, Opens faster

**NC**
Con's: Slow on large FTP sites, Slow to load (especially a the first window)
Pro's: Fast with pages of pic thumbnails (reloading them when u go back to
them which indicates a better use of the cache), More stable than IE and
won't crash OS.

These are just a few..I'm sure other people will have more to add to the
list...these are however the ones I most notice with these 2 browsers. I
suggest you install both and use them when you know a site will do better
with the one also sumtimes a sites Java/DHTML will work with the one and not
the other so having both is nice in these cases. Its also nice to keep IE on
you machine when you need to look at a Web Site quickly due to its faster
load time :-)

Hope I helped
