I am interested in bookmark and organizational apps that are browser independent. (as much as possible anyway) I can certainly say that the IE way of handling bookmarks and history urls is terrible (in my opinion) but folks are developing apps now that organize internet content without having to depend on someone's design that has a paradigm that is years old. For IE its like they got in a room and tried to see how best to design a browser that would irritate everyone, which might be the MS cooperate user policy. Having said that, I'll download the new NS and see what it does. Also check out http://www.zootsoftware.com/ for app: ZOOT which is supposed to be a super info organizer. Which gets your socks in order as well as your portfolio (if you are in public health you likely do not have one of these ...) , your garage and computer desktop. Richard E.

The principal reason that I use Netscape is the freedom it permits in using bookmark organizers and storage devices. In some cases, I can't even communicate with colleagues who are still using IE. Haven't yet found anything that I need to do that can't be done with Netscape. Would be interested in hearing from anyone that feels differently.
