I came to play with Mozilla last night after someone on the techtalk 
linuxchix mailing list said it had improved, and I've been vaguely impressed 
with it. I downloaded the latest nightly build, unpacked the tgz, and 
cunningly enough its works. And not just works, but *really* works. It's 
usable. It's the first Mozilla that actually runs at a vaguely sensible speed 
on my P200MMX. Takes an age to start up, but after that...

They've also seemingly changed the default 'skin' to be the traditional 
netscape look, which is a good thing. :)

I'm quite impressed now after several let downs. Maybe it'll actually be 
summat useful when its finished :)
