gottfried, I'm using both browsers. NN to go from one website to another and IE6 for my hotmail account.
I've used RealPlayer in the past and won't again.
It's too intrusive.
For my needs, Media player works just fine......
So far, I'm very satisfied with NN. The displays look better, information they give you while downloading another website is much much better and, as I said, it's about five times faster.
It looks like I have the answers I wanted about the condition of my modem and my ISP..
BTW.......I use access4less.net as my ISP......only 5.95 per month..................GAWD!....I LOVE BEING CHEAP!.....lol
