Cheers Mickey, can see why the pike angling grabs people by the balls.

i sometimes think i haven\'t got all my paddles in the water, living in a bivvy for days on end in the depth of winter on some remote scottish loch, waking up to find inches of snow and wondering how you\'re going to be able to drive home. must be mad, its getting to be an obsession. but one good fish makes the trip worthwhile.

I was having all sorts of problems with I.E......went over to Opera a few months ago........no more problems.......no more pop-ups......much faster response.......wish I\'d dumped I.E. AGES ago.

Hear d some canny reports on Firefox, but never used it.........ANYTHING nust be better than I.E.

Ell, if you wanna go over to Opera, look in here........

http://www.opera.com/

and select \"free download\"........like me, you\'ll wish you\'d done it ages ago, m8.

opera is good, but the new version of good old netscape is still a good browser. the new verson has the best java engine going, blocks popups and, critically for all you windoze bods has the ability to turn off ActiveX. Active X is the little bit of magic microsoft invented that lets all the viruses in!

without Active X a lot of the viruses that attach themselves soon as you open a web page are disabled because they rely on active X

Even if you just want to show solidarity to the boys that invented web browsers, netscape\'s worth a whirl. Also has usenet access built in and a pretty good mail client.

personally, I use safari. fastest brower on the planet, no popups and no viruses!

ive just downloaded opera ,can i expect any conflict between it and IE or do i need to uninstall IE first ?

cheers

[micky-quayle]

you get no conflicts at all. i\'ve got ie, opera and firefox all installed and no problems at all.
i\'ve never tried uninstalling ie but i\'m almost certain windows wont let you uninstall it !

[bribones]

ok ive installed it now the big tech question ,can i move all my favorates from IE into opera bookmarks without having to do it one by one ?
