Hi All.
I just tested on my Windows 2000 Professional the new Neoplanet browser, version 5.1, released at February 8, 2000. Are you seeking for a efficient, fantastic, innovative and very fast browser? Here is it! Neoplanet, the browser just made for the new era! I tested also the super-interesting version called Austin Powers that you can see starting on my Win 2000 in the photo below:

Neoplanet also made a browser specific for gays and lesbians. If you are looking for a really personalized browser, here is it: Neoplanet. Version 5.1 is very nimble an reliable and I recommend it: have not some bugs that MS IE 5.0 have and runs rather than Netscape 4.7.
