Thanks Simon, the second recommendation for dillo. I shall have to look at
it!

Tom, in relation to your comments on less features and GTK 1...

I think less features would be fine, I don't do anything complex, just
general browsing, google searches, etc. Although I would need cookies and
Java script I believe.

Are there any impacts of GTK 1? I'm not sure about that sort of thing at
all...

And sorry to both of you for replying directly instead of to the list...
can't wait to be rid of Outlook Express.

Thanks guys,

Pete
