As a REAL geek(tm), I'd recommend going with the latest Mozilla
rather than the Netscape-branded version.  (The current Mozilla
can be thought of as a more updated version of Netscape, without
the extra "branding" junk added - Netscape is based on Mozilla...)

Netscape's 6.0 series was said to be pretty bad (roughly equivalent
to Mozilla 1.0 or so - actually a little before as I recall, so
it was based on a "beta" of mozilla) but 7.0 is supposed to be okay.

Current stable version of Mozilla is 1.2.1, I believe.  The next
major series (Real Soon Now, 1.3) is supposed to include some
sophisticated spam filters and such in its email client.

You can get Mozilla legally free from http://www.mozilla.org

El Hermoso Dormido - such a nerd that he uses Konqueror instead (which
Apple's new browser is based on!)
