No one likes luna suite? I am trying to remember what my experience was
with it. I don't remember being impressed, but I wasn't by nethopper. At
the time. It seems that they have added some "plug-ins" since I last used
it.
Can I get some feedback on nethopper? Plusses and minuses.
Thanks,
Paul
Ps. What chat software do people like?

Maybe I'm silly, but I suggest and recommend starting from the oldest,
simplest, and working your way up...
Try NetHopper first, and see if it meets your needs. You will need to
install some extras to get it to work. Unfortunately, I don't remember
what they are named, nor exactly what they do, but you will need
something to load such sites as unna.org, and something to load some
kinds of graphics. but in any case, start with NetHopper.
Next, I would try Newtscape. It is still being sold, so it is a
commercial product. It is more than a web browser, and is probably the
richest-featured, working browser there, but I hear it's slow.
Last, I would try Courier. Small, fast, solid...
Oh, did I miss one??? hm. What to say? I'm sure I did that on purpose.
Let's just say that maybe it would be better if you didn't load that
one. However, some people have used it and use it, but it is quite
buggy from reports. I've tried it once or twice, and have had no
success...
In fact, I find web browsing on the Newton to be so unsatisfactory,
that I don't do it at all... However, now that I have wireless, that
might change. We shall see. ;-)
