Me, I asked the fellow who built a 486DX33 for me to put a 330MB HDD in the Tower case for me Later when I got a Dial Up account with a local ISP the CD they supplied had Internet Explorer. I used IE to d/l Netscape Navigator (Communicator?). After a while of using either browser I found out Netscape Bookmarks were put in the HDD until the Sector/Cluster was full before opening another space. IE used individual HDD spaces for EACH bookmark. To my way of thinking Bookmarks is the lifeblood for Internet use. Plus IE was eating up precious HDD space. After learning that I used Netscape only.
