I remember I started using Netscape when I have a acoustical modem with
Very limited capacity.   The one particular update, I remember I went to
my son-in-laws house and down loaded it through his ISP which came into
his house for his LAN. His system which was many times fasted the my modem.
 
I have stayed with Netscape and then Firefox/Thunderbird and I believe
it is the best program out there for browsing the internet, handling
your email, and browsing the newsgroups.  I was pleased when they added
the Scheduling/Calendar to Thunderbird.  We use it exclusively to
maintain our home schedule to avoid conflicts.  I believe the
Thunderbird Scheduling/Calendar is under appreciated.

 
One of the things I really like about Firefox is the "Firefox Account".
The ability to get it all set up on a different computer by just syncing
into the account has made life easy many times.  With the old people I
have to maintain systems on, I set them all up on one.

 
Heh.  I am one of those old people and I started using Netscape .9 for
linux.  I even used Mosaic a few times!
