Lou,

1) Yes

2) Yes

The latest (and last) Netscape, Netscape 7.2:
(http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/archive72x.jsp)
You can get to Netscape 8 (browser only) from here, but many people
consider it adware.

The latest (and last) Mozilla Suite, Mozilla 1.7.12:
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/)

SeaMonkey is the continuation of Netscape 7.2/Mozilla Suite, and is in
development as an open source project:
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/)
SeaMonkey 1.0 was just released. Consider Netscape and Mozilla Suite
as dead products. Mozilla will continue to release security patches
for the Mozilla Suite, but for how long is unknown.

Firefox browser with Thunderbird email/NNTP client:
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/)
You will find that if you are familiar with Netscape email/NNTP,
Thunderbird is a piece of cake.

Opera Browser and email/NNTP client:
(http://www.opera.com/download/)
A great browser! It only recently became freeware, and many people use
its browser but not its email client, at least not yet.

K-Meleon browser only:
(http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/)
The more I use this browser, the more I like it.

Ron :)

Avant, an IE shell but quick and reliable. Tried loads but always come
back to Avant.

Opera seems pretty good too.

Opera 7 has much better nav and far more stability than 8. 7.54 is the
one to go for imho. Afaik its adware, unlses that changed recently, but
its so much better than the others I tried its well worth it - and its
very rare I say that about adware.
