I fell in love with Mozilla and stopped looking around at other
browsers. So sue me.

I've had the same symptom/problem with Opera. It runs pretty
decent on old hardware, which is what I have. The last I
heard Mozilla would be a no-go on NT4 (shrug). Trying to
learn a different/new product can be frustrating too.
I just couldn't resist tugging on your chain a little :)

You would!
I choose to dislike companies who heap spam'n'ads on their "free"
offerings, so Opera and I never got along.
I upgraded to Firefox 3 and immediately went back to 2. They broke the
history and bookmark features in the new model, and TinyURL wasn't yet
updated for 3, so I hated it almost as much as Opera. ;)

I paid for it several times, no ads that way. Originally it
was only available in paid form, the ads came later in hopes
that more people would give it a go. It is one of the best
apps I've ever ponied up for.
Opera makes browsers for phones and other embedded
applications now. I gather that this is their bread & butter
money. The desktop versions give them a fertile testing area
for stuff.

Bbbut, browsers should be free (it says here in the fine print.)
My favorite paid apps are NoteTabPro (text editor for hand-coded
website design), WSFTP Pro, and Forte Agent newsreader.
On the higher end, Adobe Studio CS and Corel Draw get the nod.
On the Open Source end, OpenOffice is one fine prog.
