Eric:

I know this is a shocker but Tee and I actually agree on this..

"Bloated"? I do not find it to be, but Bloated and working is better and
more useful to me than lean and missing functions/content (see my earlier
message re borderlineups.com)

as Tee says.. So what?

> (3) GUI is unattractive;
Beauty is in the eye... As unattractive as you may find it, it does not get
in the way of using it. While I don't like the look of Netscape either, I do
find very easy to use and it always delivers on the content

Again, "Bad"? Just because you don't like it? I like my html messages, so do
my customers. And, when "properly" used such as Apple's own html mailings,
quite enjoyable and size is minimized with links rather than bulky content!

> (5) takes far too long to open;
And Safari along with a Mail program opens faster?? Not on my Mac!

> (6) the most amateurish implementation of Tabs;
Well here I agree with you... Check the true definition of the word Amateur!
The tabs work fine for me, but like Tee, I don't do much tabbed browsing...
I prefer separate windows as I find with tabs, I'm always quitting something
I wanted to keep active and end up retracing a lot of steps and downloads

> (7) not stable.
My Netscape version is in fact a little more stable than my Safari...
Neither however are as stable, again, just for me, than iCab.
