A pit load of junk...but hey better than PR2

Written: Aug 19 '00
Pros:Fast for me to view pages
Cons:crashy as..well you know and might gobble memory

I have used both PR2 and PR1, and they both are not so good,aweful is more like it. PR1 had the uncanny ability to crash constantly, and it took ages to boot up.They insisted you sign up for the MyNetscape (or whatever) service.I am the proud owner (most of the time) of an iMac..and let me say if Netscape is going to win me over from Microsoft's "evil" they might want to allow me to be able to check my email without crashing 3 time first. I do though have to say that it loaded pages faster, and I like the way it loaded them. PR2 this is about even with PR1...it doesnt crash as much..when you get it to load a page.I have to try multiple times to even get my home page..or any page to load.Finnaly I had to quit my MP3 player and my IM (I was not a happy surfer)....so it is usless if you trying to do something.Once it is loaded it doesnt crash to often (compared to the first..and even most browsers in general.) It is fast and sleek...then comes one of the worst parts....s-l-o-w-d-o-w-n...no not in how is loads pages, but when I go from application to application (NPR2 to Finder or to AIM <GO AOl IMing!!!>) it takes about 5 or 20 seconds.Then I realize it is using more memory than my operting system (64Mb with 68/120 Virtual memory). I have to close it before it causes my whole system to crash or burn. I don't like either..IE4.5 or iCab are much better.r
