I've just installed it and yep, it's quick!! I'll have to leave Firebird
installed though as I can't do Internet banking with it. No support for
https by the looks :-(
I haven't been to any pages requiring java script yet, but we'll see how it
goes.
The main thing is, I can access my favourite motorcycle news page, so that's
all that really counts... and it's so much faster too!

I can see what you mean about butt-ugly compared with things like Firebird,
but given my tendency towards console rather than GUI for most things, it
doesn't offend me in the slightest....

And here I was thinking I was the only one suffering from having to hit
Reply All then deleting the individual recipient and leaving the list
only... so it's not only Outlook Express that does it hey? I'm amazed!
