i've had this trouble with mozilla in many different versions of linux. 
Somehow I doubt it's a 'woody' problem. Pat showed me Opera a couple of 
meetings ago and I've never looked back :-) When ppl say it's a fast 
browser, they're not talking about loading pages. It loads fast. Mozilla I 
could go to the kitchen and back in the time it took to load. Opera comes 
up practically straight away. Frightened me at first :-)

If only it were as good in windows as it is in linux. I had problems with 
corrupted files in windows (after a format and reinstall of the OS) so I 
had to resort to IE :-( The Opera download is a lot smaller than the 
Mozilla download too. The only drawback is that it's "free" meaning you 
have to either put up with ads or pay to have them removed. They're fairly 
non-intrusive tho so it doesn't really bother me.

because I'm only going to say this once. *Coffee*. Black.
