Nethopper is a like a glorified Lynx browser. Simple, small. Good for
those with little space and will do little "Net hopping"
Luna Suite/Luna Ranger is much like a regular net browser. To date, it does
some of the best redendering of animated gifs. But when it crashes....
Newt's Cape may not be as graceful as Luna Ranger, but is stable and has
many more features. It truely is the browser of choice.

I'll say it again, Newt's Cape is worth the registration fee. Definate
advantages are that it is continually supported and new features added.
Look at the things it does that the other browsers don't... mod (music
file) converting, importing of wav files, doc (palm pilot) files, zip files,
Waba (small java) and the list goes on. If something new comes out, you
know Steve will work to put it in. It's great!
