Mzny like it better. The problem is Mozilla is getting a way from choice. It will be IE/OE paradigm or nothing. Many of us like the Netscape/Mozilla all-in-one approach and can't stand having to open 4 or 5 different programs to get work done. Others Like to open something for Mail, something for news, something for web webrowsing, something for ftp download, something for FTP Upload, something else for another thing down the line. To me that's wasting time, and computer resources (yes even if you have 1.5 gb ram and 120gb Hard drive) opening a new appliacation for a different thing; when you can open one thing and be able to switch to a different component. you can even leave that component runing in backgound just go to window and click on item you want to see. You eventuall have so many things open its difficult to see what's doing what. Supposedly the advantage is not for the operator. But for the developer instead of developing as a component that must work with other components within the application. If the components are broken down into separate applications, they don't have to worry about compatibility, and just worry about getting that application to work. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
