lostcowboy, The problems that were developing with NN weren't bad, but based on my experience with IE, I could see where they were headed.
also, I deleted everything I could find that was connected to AOL. I don't think NN liked that.
Now, for two days, I've been using Opera and the only glitches I've found are those I've created by being a newbie.
It's much faster than IE or NN and, so far, problem free.
FWIW...I use a dialup with a V.92 modem.
I have also run several tests at PCpitstop.com and my ISP doesn't seem to be at fault.
The proof is in the pudding.......so far, Opera is working fine and if it continues I will talk to them about buying it.
