Netscape 1.1 - IMHO, the best of a number of WWW browsers. It is very user-friendly, has a pleasant layout, and takes full advantage of the graphical potential of the WWW. At times, loading all of the graphics can be slow, but it is well worth the price.

IMHO - In My Humble Opinion.

icons/gizmos - these are the little buttons and symbols next to links. They are usually symbolic of what type of link it is and where it is going.

Trumpet Winsock - one of the applications needed for PPP/SLIP connections using an IBM or compatible. I still don't know how to configure this one and set it up to run.
