I keep Internet Explorer and Nestcape on the desktop for patrons. Netscape was 
long the favorite, but Internet Explorer became the browser of choice among 
patrons when IE 5.5 was installed.

I feel compelled to add here that there are some of us out there, huddled 
behind  stacks in the storage areas, that believe that the best browser is not 
made by Microsoft or Netscape. It also is available on a wide number of OSs 
such as BeOS, EPOC, Linux, WIndows and now even Macintosh. The browser is 
Opera. When people say that competition will end, I think that it has already 
- Opera has better better for years. (c:
