   It is a large application to download over a modem. Mozilla is very slow   
   to load, but once up and running, it has acceptable performance in my   
   opinion.   
      
   It is a work in progress. I have used Firebird on Mac OS X and Linux and   
   I do not think Be is getting singled out for any extra bug inclusions. :)

   I have not experienced such fatal problems with Opera, the biggest   
   problem for me is that it hangs and then the process must be killed.   
   Perhaps it depends on the site and its content. For most of what I visit   
   NetPositive remains a very viable browser.

   I had the contact information but I seem to have lost it. I will keep   
   looking. I got the information by contacting Opera support and it took   
   persistence to get them to cough it up.
