| Why should you be worried about Palladium? Microsoft and Intel have your best interests at heart, don't they? They even renamed it to "the next-generation secure computing base" to make it more understandable? If you aren't aware of what Palladium is, you might want to read up a bit on it yourself. Here are some links to start with: TCPA / Palladium Frequently Asked Questions (version 1.0, 7/9/2002) Palladium: Safer Computing or World Domination? Should Microsoft be responsible for security?

| Fed up with the bloat of Internet Explorer and/or Netscape? Try Mozilla Firefox. Earlier versions were called Phoenix, then Mozilla Firebird, now Mozilla Firefox 0.7.

I tried it on my Mac as well, but I'm undecided as to whether it beats Safari or not. |
