An ISP of their own (was RE: [rescue] Being jobless)

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

On the Sparc you could always try Opera.

I run Opera and Mozilla on my Ultra 60.  I think Opera is quicker, but
on my Ultra 60 both are nice.  I have not tried Opera on my SS20, so
I can't say how much better it would be than Mozilla.
